The Alabama man in jail on a charge of conspiring to commit murder is a Polk County government employee, according to a Georgia Bureau of Investigation official.

Bobby Lee Hulsey, 39, of 2345 County Road 8, Piedmont, Ala., was arrested around 3:15 p.m. Aug. 26 on a Polk County Sheriff's Office warrant, according to the jail docket. He remains in the Polk County Jail.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) Special Agent in Charge Jerry Scott said Hulsey was arrested at a Polk County work site without incident.

The charge against Hulsey stems from him allegedly plotting to kill a Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS) worker, Scott said.

Hulsey’s children had been taken from him in a custody dispute, according to the GBI. Scott said it is unclear whether Hulsey was divorced or in the process of divorce.

“Somebody went to the Rockmart Police Department with information and we assisted them in the investigation,” he said.

Scott said no additional arrests are expected.

The GBI was in charge of the investigation, which lasted about a month and a half, with Special Agent April Wren working the case, Scott said.

Other agencies involved in the investigation include the Rockmart Police Department and the Polk County Police Department, he said.

No one has ever accused Bobby of having common sense. This just goes to show what kind of person he really is. IF he even remotely cared for his kids then he would have done what's right for his kids. However, as I have stated previously, he was never accused of having common sense. He got what he asked for and I do not feel sorry for him. Maybe this will be the very thing that'll straighten him out providing he can get some common sense.

As for the previous poster, DFCS has stated that your children can be disciplined. However, if you do 'hit' them then it should be with an open hand and should a bruise appear then it should not stay longer than 5 minutes. IF it does stay longer than 5 minutes then that could constitute possible child abuse. There is a right way and a wrong way to discipline your children. That's where common sense plays into it.

I guess she thought she was special and was talking down to him. He was going to shut her up one way or the other. Thats why we have all these delinquents is parents are not able to beat their children anymore it makes a difference you learn real quick the difference in right and wrong. If you hit your child and the bruse does not stay more than a day then you didn't hit them hard enough. LOL Have a Nice Day!
