Fugitive Atlanta doctor arrested | www.ajc.com

<Federal authorities in Miami last night arrested Atlanta physician Kelly Thrasher, who has been the target of a nationwide hunt since Tuesday. A tip led U.S. Marshals to a hotel in the South Beach area of Miami, where Thrasher was taken into custody without incident, according to the Sandy Springs Police Department. He is being held in a Miami detention center, awaiting extradition to Georgia.

Sandy Springs police alerted state and federal authorities to Sandy Springs police on Tuesday that they were searching for Thrasher after they say he obtained a passport under a false name and did not show up for a scheduled meeting with detectives.

Thrasher is facing trial on a 2012 child molestation charge. He was rearrested in January, accused of practicing medicine after his license was suspended in January 2013. He now also faces charges of identity fraud and forgery, related to the passport.

<Thrasher is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in his home and molesting a young girl during a slumber party. Earlier this year, he was charged with practicing medicine without a license.

The suspect was supposed to meet with Sandy Springs Police detectives on Monday, but failed to show. Investigators later determined he obtained a passport under a fake name. Thrasher now faces additional charges of forgery and identity fraud.>

sordid--glad he is in custody.

If I happen to learn more about this--will update. I won't pay AJC to find out anything else they may know. fwiw.

I suppose unless this has national interest--and why wouldn't it? I cannot get the news in Atlanta.

What? Why?--too much to ask.

Not so long ago, Kelly Thrasher was a young doctor seeing patients in a well-established medical practice on Atlanta&#8217;s northside. When he wasn&#8217;t at work, Thrasher was serving on the board of a prominent consumer organization and speaking publicly about controversial issues, including medical malpractice insurance and his belief that doctors shouldn&#8217;t be involved in executing prisoners.

<Sidney Dorsey has confessed to the murder of DeKalb County sheriff-elect Derwin Brown.DeKalb County officials announced the confession at a news conference Thursday morning.

District Attorney Gwen Keyes Fleming said during a news conference today that she met with Dorsey on July 13th at the prison in Reidsville, where he confessed to ordering Brown's death.

Dorsey told Fleming he wrote a note telling former sheriff's deputy Patrick Cuffy to kill his rival.

Reading from a prepared statement, Fleming said the Saturday after the August 12th, 2000, runoff election, he wrote a note to Patrick Cuffy that meant he should assassinate Sheriff-Elect Derwin Brown. Dorsey told the prosecutor that Cuffy replied -- quote -- "We are way ahead of you."

She said Dorsey told her that he later attempted unsuccessfully a few weeks later to call off the hit.

Fleming said Dorsey told her he ordered the hit originally because he was upset about losing the election, he was facing sexual harassment allegations and his marriage was in trouble.

Dorsey was found guilty of ordering the Dec. 15, 2000 murder of Brown, who defeated Dorsey in an August runoff election after campaigning on a promise to clean up corruption in the sheriff's office.

The 46-year-old Brown was gunned down just days before taking office.
