Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents took boxes of documents from the Bulloch County Clerk of Courts office Friday, planning to review the records regarding the handling of over $3 million annually. No reason beyond a citizen complaint was given for the raid, which lasted all day long Friday as business went on as usual in the office. Bulloch County Clerk of Courts Teresa Tucker, who has worked for the office for 31 years and took over as clerk two years ago after long-time clerk Sherri Akins retired, said over $3 million in fees, fines and payments flowed through the Bulloch County Clerk of Courts office during the past year, along with an undisclosed amount of cash and property from drug arrest seizures.
