TOOMBS COUNTY, Ga. (WSAV) — The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) is investigating an officer-involved shooting in Toombs County that injured a man.

Toombs County Sheriff’s Office deputies were on Rodney Stanley Road in Lyons, Georgia to arrest Rabul Valdez Jr. The 38-year-old had outstanding warrants.
