VALDOSTA — Last month, authorities notified the public they were searching for a suspect who threw a bottle at passing cyclists from his pick up truck. Thanks to the community’s efforts, the suspect has turned himself in to sheriff’s deputies.

An arrest warrant was issued for Willie James Edwards, 54 of Valdosta, after numerous tips from the photo released by the victims led authorities to conduct interviews and present a case.  Edwards turned himself in to authorities on Saturday.  He was released from jail on a $2500 bond.

Though no one was injured from the September incident, it was only because the bottle thrown missed the cyclists and shattered on the asphalt road.  A camera mounted on one of the cycles which took a photo of the truck involved led to the arrest of Edwards.

Edwards was charged with Reckless Conduct.
