Former WRPD officer arrested for sexual battery, violation of oath
Ray Dexter Ewings, a former Warner Robins police officer, was arrested and charged with sexual battery and violation of oath of office.
WARNER ROBINS — On Sept. 17, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) arrested and charged former Warner Robins police officer Ray Dexter Ewings, 30, with sexual battery and violation of oath of office.
The press release said on July 19, the Warner Robins Police Department (WRPD) asked the GBI to investigate allegations of misconduct by a Warner Robins officer.
The day before, a complaint was filed with the WRPD saying that Ewings allegedly “touched a person inappropriately in a sexual manner while on duty and acting in his official capacity as a WRPD officer.”
Based on this investigation, Ewings was fired from the WRPD. On Sept. 13, GBI agents received arrest warrants for Ewings, who was then booked into Houston County Jail.
This investigation is currently active and ongoing. The release said once it is complete, it will be turned over to the Houston County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution.
Anyone with additional information regarding this case can contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Perry at (478) 987-4545.
