Charges have been dropped for a man after a review of the evidence in the case showed he acted in self-defense in an incident that led to the death of his father-in-law.
On Thursday, the Rome Circuit District Attorney’s Office dropped charges pending against 27-year-old Benjamin Tobias Cox Jr.
“Rome Police Department detectives in this case had probable cause to arrest this defendant on Oct. 7, 2022. They continued to work the case along with staff in my office. Evidence developed that pointed to Mr. Benjamin Cox having a valid justification defense under several statutes, including self-defense, defense of habitation and the stand your ground statute,” Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson said.
