Paulding County DA Donovan arrested on 4 felony charges

Paulding County District Attorney Dick Donovan surrendered Monday afternoon and was arrested on four felony charges, according to the county’s sheriff’s office.

The 75-year-old Donovan, who has served as DA since 2010, was indicted last week on charges of bribery, violation of oath by public officer and two counts of false swearing. The allegations stem from his relationship with a top female staff member.

A warrant was issued for his arrest Thursday, giving him a deadline of Tuesday at noon to turn himself in. Donovan was in custody shortly before 4:30 p.m. Monday, according to Sgt. Ashley Henson.

Donovan’s bond was set at $2,500 prior to his arrest, court documents show. He posted a cash bond and was released at 5:41 p.m., Henson said.
