Man Who Filmed Ahmaud Arbery's Death Charged with Murder
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — The Georgia man whose cellphone video of Ahmaud Arbery’s fatal shooting helped reignite the case was charged with murder Thursday, making him the third person arrested more than two months after the slaying.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said 50-year-old William "Roddie" Bryan Jr. was arrested on charges of felony murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment. No other details were given. The GBI said in a statement that it would hold a news conference Friday morning.

Arbery was slain Feb. 23 when a white father and son armed themselves and pursued him after spotting the 25-year-old black man running in their neighborhood. More than two months passed before authorities arrested Gregory McMichael, 64, and his son, Travis McMichael, 34, on charges of felony murder and aggravated assault. Gregory McMichael told police he suspected Arbery was a burglar and that Arbery attacked his son before being shot.

Bryan lives in the same subdivision just outside the port city of Brunswick, and the video he took from the cab of his vehicle helped stir a national outcry when it leaked online May 5.

#1 Arrest all residents within a mile of the incident. Had the privilege subdivision not been built, Ahmaud Arbery might still be alive today.

#2 Why single out any particular group of White people, Besoeker - all are guilty!

#5  I assume the shooting took place far from his residence?

Supposedly he lived in the next subdivision over — about two miles away, as I recall.

#7 Gun toting redneck shooters were in no life threatening danger. They could have easily followed at a distance and summoned the police via cellie.... but no. Not sure what William Bryan had to do with it.

Jail time please, lots of it !

#9 No prob g(r)om. It's a 'Jane Goodall' thing. You really have to live among them to fully understand the mental process.

You think they've got a mental process, #9 B? Why?

#12 I thought it was interesting when I saw a report of this guy getting death threats as if he was involved somehow and not just a bystander.

If he was involved he was a damned fool to post the video which brought the whole thing to the nations attention.

#14 RJ, the perps believed they were in the right. The guy who was shooting the video felt the same way and believed the video would be exonerating. Can't we just send these people to work for the Biden campaign?
