Kerlin was charged with misdemeanor obstruction. He was also removed from his duty for violating department protocol, 11Alive.com reported, citing a Towns County spokesperson. He was eventually bonded out of jail.
Qaadir and Naazir, from the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville, were found gunned down on top of a Georgia mountain a day after they missed a flight to Boston to visit friends.

How did they end out in the mountains? They don’t hike out there. They have never been out there,” the brothers’ aunt, Samira Brawner, told WSBTV.
Qaadir and Naazir’s uncle, Rahim Brawner, echoed the thoughts. “I can’t imagine them hurting each other because I’ve never even seen them get into a fistfight before,” their uncle said. “Murder-suicide? I just believe that they were extremely incapable of that.”
