Two men involved in a rollover accident Sunday were arrested not only for charges stemming from the accident, but on outstanding warrants from other counties as well.
Brothers Thomas Jefferson Terrell, 30, and Shannon Joseph Terrell, 33, both of Kessler Court, Garden City, were traveling north on Jim Futch Road around 6 p.m. Sunday near McCoy Road, with Thomas Jefferson Terrell driving, according to reports by Georgia State Patrol Post 45 Trooper First-Class J.

Thomas Terrell lost control of the vehicle after leaving the roadway onto the east shoulder, then swerving back onto the roadway, over-correcting, spinning and overturning, he said in preliminary reports.
Both Thomas and Shannon Terrell left the scene, but were captured shortly afterward, reports said.
