The Hart County grand jury handed down several indictments in April.

Wendell G. Ake Jr.,38, was charged with impersonating a peace officer by unlawfully pretending to represent a law enforcement agency with the intent to induce another person to submit to false official authority.

The indictment of a person by a grand jury is an accusation only and the person is innocent until and unless proven guilty.
