Detective fired for Flock misuse has his name in another police report

Brandon Sellers was among a wave of law enforcement officers nationwide who were arrested this summer and accused of misusing the Flock license plate reader database.

Sellers, who was the Milledgeville Police Department’s chief detective, was arrested last month and charged with one count of violation of oath by a public officer and one count of misuse of captured license plate data.

The first is a felony and the latter a misdemeanor. In short order, Sellers was fired from his job.

Now, Sellers’ name has appeared in another incident report, this one from the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. The BCSO classified the report as “stalking” in its database. According to the incident report, a call came in from a subdivision off Log Cabin Road, and a deputy responded. The deputy was met by a woman, who said that she and Sellers previously were in a relationship “but had little contact” in the last 15 years.

The woman added that she was returning home from dinner on Sept. 3 “when a vehicle came down (her road) at a high rate of speed and stopped in the cul-de-sac in front of a vacant cut-in driveway across from her residence.” The woman added that the vehicle then remained parked for around 90 seconds. She took a pic of the license plate before it left the neighborhood. The deputy ran the license plate number, and the vehicle came back to Sellers.

Added the deputy’s narrative in the incident report: “(The woman) allowed me to review text messages on her phone and advised earlier messages remain on a previous device. She identified a February 2026, message as most concerning. She stated she had been working in her home office with the blinds open and lights on when she observed a dark SUV pass her residence, and that Sellers thereafter messaged her to the effect that she should not leave her blinds open because someone might see her.”

The woman said that she stopped responding to Sellers’ text messages after that, although he “continued to send her messages.”

Added the narrative: “I explained the elements of Stalking under O.C.G.A. 16-5-90 and Family Violence under O.C.G.A. 19-13-1, the practical effect of an arrest including bond and stay-away conditions, and the difference between a criminal trespass warning and a protective order.”

The woman then relayed to the deputy that she “had not decided whether to pursue charges and requested guidance,” adding that “her stated concerns were her safety and being kept informed.”
