BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Georgia Governor Nathan Deal has suspended Brunswick Commissioner James Brooks, according to First Coast News’ media partner, The Florida Times-Union

Brooks is facing racketeering charges along with violation of oath charges in a Camden County indictment. Brooks was also charged with witness tampering and obstruction of a law enforcement officer during the investigation into the murder of a 13-month-old boy last month in Glynn County.

Brunswick’s City Commission will resume Wednesday’s meeting without Brooks.

“We’ll conduct the business of the city with four people just as if he was on vacation,” City Manager Bill Weeks said.

Brooks is also mayor pro-tem and will continue to receive his $1,200 monthly salary.
