Fulton County Declines to Charge Radio Host Big Tigger

Prosecutors declined to file charges prompting federal civil litigation to take center stage.

Overview

  • The Fulton County District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute Darian "Big Tigger" Morgan, a decision reported Monday that ends the criminal case against him.
  • Morgan was arrested in June by Sandy Springs police on aggravated battery and third-degree cruelty to children charges, he denied wrongdoing and later stepped away from his V-103 morning show.
  • Alicia Brown was arrested July 6 after a law-enforcement database showed a Maryland warrant, two children traveling with her were recovered, and the Maryland warrant was later recalled.
  • Brown has filed a federal lawsuit against Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat and the sheriff's office alleging an erroneous warrant, alleged communications about her movements and improper treatment of Morgan, but those claims remain unproven.
  • Separate civil cases, records requests and reputational fallout will guide what happens next because a prosecutor's declination does not block Brown's or Francesca Amiker's ongoing federal claims seeking damages and further inquiry.
