SHIELDS OF SHAME INVESTIGATION • PART ONE OF TWO • CRISP COUNTY, GEORGIA
Alishia Reshaun Gibbs: Crisp County Jail Incident, Resignation and Revoked Georgia POST Certification
What happened inside the Crisp County jail—and what did the recording preserve? This investigation examines a jail incident involving former jailer Alishia Reshaun Gibbs, the available video and documentary record, and her subsequent employment and certification history. A companion investigation will examine Corporal Lizzie-Ina Michelle Manders and the separate questions raised about her initial encounter with the inmate and the body-camera recording.

The official record: employment and revocation
A Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council profile dated January 6, 2026, identifies Gibbs as a former Crisp County Sheriff’s Office jailer. The record includes several separate employment entries at Crisp County and a period of employment at the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. The final Crisp County entry lists January 18, 2021 as the end date and describes her separation as resigned in lieu of termination. The record identifies a POST investigation opened January 19, 2021 and a final action dated January 13, 2024 revoking her basic jailer certification. A resignation in lieu of termination is not the same as a criminal conviction; the POST sanction is an administrative professional-licensing action.

The body-camera evidence gap
According to the information supplied to Shields of Shame for this investigation, Gibbs was not wearing a body camera during the encounter. The second officer, Lizzie-Ina Michelle Manders, reportedly first dealt with the inmate, mocked her, and turned off her body camera. Those descriptions are investigative allegations requiring evaluation against the full original video, device audit logs, and official findings. The absence of a Gibbs-worn camera does not mean the encounter went unrecorded: the shared incident video is presented above.

Part Two: Lizzie-Ina Michelle Manders
The companion article will investigate the officer who reportedly encountered the inmate first, examine the allegation of mocking, and investigate why her body-camera recording ended. A Georgia POST profile dated January 7, 2026, lists Manders as an actively employed Crisp County corporal, with active jailer and jail training officer certifications, and no sanctions or investigations shown in that profile. Those profile entries do not independently resolve the allegations about the incident.

Questions that still demand answers
What precisely happened before, during, and after the portion captured on video? What do the full internal investigation and witness statements establish? Was the body-camera deactivation documented and authorized? What do device audit trails reveal about recording activity? Were supervisors notified, and what findings did they make? These questions must be answered from the complete record rather than inferred from a short clip.
Editorial note: Administrative findings, reported allegations, and independently verified video observations are distinct. Shields of Shame will update this investigation as additional authenticated evidence is reviewed. The inclusion of a named officer is not a finding of criminal guilt.
