What goes around, comes around

The University of Georgia Police have issued a warrant for Gene Milner for charges stemming from the imprisonment and beating of a Clemson student.

If his name sounds familiar, it should.

Milner was involved in the overdose of Lewis Fish a few years back and had been barred from Athens-Clarke County ...

The charges listed in the warrant for Milner's arrest include violations that police discovered during the investigation into Fish's death that occurred before Milner left town, Williamson said. "We took the information to a magistrate judge and the judge felt we had probable cause to proceed," he said.

Milner has a record of misdemeanors that dates back to April 2004.

He was arrested April 15, 2004, on charges of giving false information to police, public drunkenness, underage alcohol possession, possession of fake ID, and again on Sept. 19 of that year on charges of underage alcohol possession and disorderly conduct.

Milner pleaded guilty and was sentenced in January 2005 to 12 months on probation and family counseling. He was ordered to wear a SCRAM, or Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor - an ankle band that regularly monitors the wearer's blood-alcohol content.

He was cited on Aug. 11 for a noise violation at 555 Riverhill Drive, to which he pleaded guilty on Jan. 4. The conditions of Milner's plea included six months probation, removal of the ankle band and being barred from Athens-Clarke County.
