The lawyer for a former probation officer accused of killing his girlfriend wants his case tried outside Houston County.

Russell Holt's attorney made the request this morning in a motion hearing in Houston County superior court.

Holt is accused of shooting 27-year-old Jessica Wolfe to death last year.

Today, defense lawyer Franklin Hogue and prosecutors are discussing issues in the case. They include Hogue's argument that Holt can't get a fair trial in Central Georgia due to publicity in the case.

So far, Judge Tillman Self has not ruled on that motion.

Hogue also asked the judge to throw out all of Holt's statements to law enforcement about the case. He said police violated Holt's Fifth Amendment rights because he repeatedly asked to have a lawyer present.

Jennifer Moulliet is in the courtroom and will have more on the case on Eyewitness News at 5 and 6 p.m.

A man known as the "Office Creeper" is wanted by counties all over Georgia for thefts from businesses.

Authorities say he hit central Georgia businesses on Wednesday.

Perry Police Captain Heath Dykes with says the man is 54-year-old Antonio Hornsby.

As reported by our sister station WXIA, the man poses as a contracted maintenance man and then proceeds to steal wallets from workers while pretending to inspect air filters, etc.

Dykes says it appears Hornsby worked his way up Interstate 75 Wednesday, hitting businesses in Cordele, Perry, Byron and in Bibb County. 

Hornsby allegedly entered Landmark Realty and Source Care Management in Perry, stealing employees' wallets in both locations, and made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the Perry Ag Center.

Perry police raided a home Thursday and arrested a man with $9,000 in crack and marijuana, according to a news release.

Police and Houston County's special-response team served a warrant around noon at 1305 WF Ragin Drive.

They say they found crack cocaine, worth around $8,000, packaged marijuana worth about $1,000 and $1,600 in cash.

According to the news release, 21-year-old Patrick Sutton Jr. was charged with trafficking cocaine, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of tools during commission of a crime.

Two others were also arrested:
