Three Bibb County Deputies Arrested for Misusing Flock License Plate Camera System
MACON, Ga. – Three Bibb County Sheriff’s Office deputies have been arrested after an internal investigation determined they allegedly accessed the county’s Flock license plate camera system for personal reasons unrelated to law enforcement.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, an internal audit conducted with assistance from Flock Safety identified irregularities involving deputies’ access to the license plate reader system.
Investigators determined the three cases were unrelated to one another but each involved deputies allegedly accessing license plate data concerning individuals with whom they had personal relationships.
The investigation resulted in the arrests of Coznavian Stubbs, Joseph Callaway, and Toni Lewis, who were booked into the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center on Aug. 10, 2026.

Sheriff: “No Employee Is Above the Law”
Sheriff David Davis said the alleged misuse of the Flock camera system violated the public’s trust.
“The public entrusts law enforcement with access to powerful technology and sensitive information, and with that trust comes an absolute responsibility to use those resources only for legitimate law enforcement purposes,” Davis said.
He said the Sheriff’s Office launched an internal audit after being notified by Flock Safety of possible irregularities and acted immediately once the alleged misuse was discovered.
Davis added that while Flock technology is a valuable investigative tool, it should never be used for personal reasons or in a manner that infringes on the privacy or constitutional rights of citizens.
“We have safeguards and auditing procedures in place for exactly this reason,” Davis said. “No employee is above the law or the standards of this office. We will continue to monitor and audit the use of this technology and take appropriate action whenever those standards are violated. Protecting the public also means protecting the public’s trust.”
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities said anyone with information related to the cases is encouraged to contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
