In a development that casts a long shadow over the Greene County High School football program, head coach Darius Terrell Robinson was taken into custody by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on charges of assault. At 34 years old, the Union Point resident faces two counts of Aggravated Assault and one count of Simple Battery, according to an official statement from the GBI. These allegations arise from events involving several minors under Robinson's tutelage between September and November of this year.
The investigation into Robinson's conduct began to quickly move forward this Tuesday, December 9, when the Greensboro Police Department reached out to the GBI for assistance. The accused coach is alleged to have hit and choked multiple players he was supposed to be mentoring and guiding. According to details from the GBI's press release, Robinson was subsequently booked into the Greene County Jail.
As this case garners attention and the inquiry unfolds, the GBI has extended an invitation to the public to come forward with any potentially relevant information. Ensuring to maintain a degree of community involvement, the agency encourages individuals with knowledge of the events to contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Milledgeville at 478-445-4173. Additionally, anonymous tips can be submitted by calling 1-800-597-TIPS(8477), online, or through the See Something, Send Something mobile app.
The inquiry remains active, and the GBI is working diligently to conclude the investigation. Once the investigative process is duly completed, the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office is set to receive the case file for further prosecution.
