District Attorney Keith Higgins announces that Dillon Andrews, 28, of Townsend, GA, was found guilty of Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Firearm during Commission of a Felony.BRUNSWICK, Ga. — District Attorney Keith Higgins of Brunswick Judicial Circuit announced on Thursday that Dillon Andrews, 28, of Townsend, Ga., was found guilty of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.In the early morning hours of Sept.
Andrews awoke from inside the vehicle and grabbed a semi-auto handgun. He stepped out and fired a warning shot in the air. While this stopped the fights, Andrews fired what he called, “another warning shot” at the victim, whose girlfriend worked at the lounge that night. However, in his testimony at trial, Andrews admitted that he had not seen the victim fight anyone. He also said that the victim was unarmed and was several yards away, walking in his direction.
Andrews’ second shot from the handgun struck the victim in the leg. In what was called a “fight or flight” response, the victim charged at Andrews to protect himself. In the ensuing fight, the victim was shot again, in the chest, arm and other leg. The victim staggered away and collapsed to the ground. He was rushed to a hospital in Jacksonville where two surgeries resulted in part of one lung being removed. He also suffered nerve damage to his arm that ended his career as an electrician.Andrews himself shot off his own finger.Following the shooting, Andrews and two friends fled the scene but were soon stopped by Brunswick Police.
“Justice was done for the victim and the community in this case. It is sad that Mr. Andrews, an otherwise law-abiding citizen, made a very bad choice while under the influence of alcohol. He brought a gun to a fistfight and misjudged the situation. This was not a life or death struggle. The victim had done nothing. Andrews’ actions were not justified. They were unreasonable and excessive.
