A former Habersham County Sheriff’s Office deputy was found not guilty on all counts Friday by a federal jury in Gainesville in connection with a 2014 drug raid that resulted in a toddler’s injury. Nikki Autry was accused of providing false information to a magistrate court judge for a “no-knock” warrant that led to a raid on May 28, 2014. When a drug task force entered the Cornelia home, a flash-bang grenade exploded near 18-month-old Bounkham “Bou Bou” Phonesavanh and caused severe facial burns.
