Two Georgians involved in a sexual assault in March 2019 pleaded guilty this week to false imprisonment for their actions.
District Attorney Bert Poston could not be reached Wednesday or Thursday, but he confirmed to the Dalton Daily Citizen-News that Marlon Bradford Burk of Chatsworth and Amy Louise Marie Jones of Dalton pleaded guilty for their roles in an alleged rape case in Whitfield County.
On March 31, 2019, a Whitfield County sheriff’s deputy was called to Downing Street just east of the Dalton city limits on a report of a woman being sexually assaulted. When the deputy arrived he was flagged down by the caller, according to an incident report from the Whitfield County Sheriffs Office.
The woman told the deputy that she had been visiting Dalton and was hanging out with Jones. The night before, the woman told the deputy, Jones took her to a trailer on Richardson Drive where two men raped her. The woman said methamphetamine was involved.
The woman told deputies the people she had met told her they had ties to “the Mexican mob” and tried to scare her by saying she had a “hit on her” for being an informant for the feds.
