Sheriff’s deputies have arrested three of five men who allegedly made a YouTube video threatening Barnesville Police Dept. investigator Al Moltrum. According to Major Brad White of the Lamar sheriff’s office, the investigation began when a neighbor spotted a black male with dreadlocks filming in Moltrum’s front yard. The video, in which the group threatened to shoot Moltrum eight times, was later found on the online video website. Those arrested include British Jerome Wyke, 22, of 101 Olivia Lane, Barnesville; Bryan Antwaine Wyke, 21, also of 101 Olivia Lane; and Elix Mayes, 21, of 905 Piedmont Pines, Barnesville. All are charged with terroristic threats and acts. All have long criminal records. Also charged in the case but still at large are Immanuel Rotimi Babajide and Fredrick Sherard Harden Jr. If you have knowledge of their whereabouts, call 911. As a juvenile, Babajide terrorized residents of Murphey Ave. and Harrell Circle, stealing items from cars. UPDATE: Babajide has turned himself in. Barnesville police assisted in the investigation, White added.
