MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Colquitt County man has been indicted on murder charges in the May 2016 slayings of five people at their Rossman Dairy Road home.
Colquitt County grand jurors indicted Jeffrey Alan Peacock on five counts of malice murder on Thursday. The grand jury list of indictments was presented on Tuesday morning in an open session at Colquitt County Courthouse.
Peacock also was indicted on an arson charge, three counts of aggravated cruelty to dogs and five counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
He is accused in the May 15 shooting deaths at 505 Rossman Dairy Road of Jonathan Garrett Edwards, Ramsey Jones Pidcock and Aaron Reid Williams, all 21; 20-year-old Alicia Brooke Norman; and Jordan Shane Croft, 22. Peacock was 24 at the time.
According to the indictments, all five were shot in the head before the house was set on fire. One dog’s head was fractured and two died inside the residence of burns and smoke inhalation.
The fire, which was reported to 911 by Peacock, as well as by two other people, gutted the interior of the residence.
Peacock is being held at Colquitt County Jail. A Colquitt County Superior Court judge set a bail of $1 million in October.
