THE BALDWIN, GEORGIA, ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF is on paid administrative leave today following his arrest Tuesday night after a domestic dispute.  AccessNorthGeorgia reports:

Baldwin Assistant Fire Chief Albert Franklin Walton, 41, of Alto was arrested by Banks County deputies at a residence on North County Line Road, Alto, the Banks County sheriff’s incident report shows.

"Walton was primary aggressor during a domestic dispute with his live-in girlfriend," the report states. Walton "brandished a semi-auto pistol during the dispute" and "damaged vehicle window with pistol as she was attempting to leave."

Walton is charged with terroristic threats and acts under the Family Violence Act, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and disorderly conduct, said Banks County Sheriff Carlton Speed late Wednesday afternoon.
