Bond was denied Wednesday for the man charged in connection with the car crash death of a DeKalb County police officer who was responding to a call last month, the D.A.’s office said.
Gregory Lee Harvey Jr. is charged with felony murder, reckless driving and theft by receiving a motor vehicle.
Officer Ivorie Klusmann, a 32-year-old father of two children, was killed in a single-car crash while responding to a call on Aug. 10 around 2:45 a.m., police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene after his police vehicle struck a tree near the intersection of DeKalb Medical Parkway and Heritage Park Trail.
Harvey turned himself in to authorities later that day at his Stone Mountain home. He is accused of fleeing from Klusmann during a traffic stop near Snapfinger Woods Drive while driving a stolen Jeep Cherokee. A short chase was called off, then another officer later spotted the suspect. Klusmann wrecked on the way to the second location, police said.
