Tony Michael Lumley

Trooper Tony Lumley died as a result of injuries sustained the previous night when his patrol car collided with a vehicle being pursued by other law enforcement agencies.

The pursuit started in Clayton County, and proceeded through Henry County into Spalding County, where Trooper Lumley joined in. The pursuit ended when the suspect's vehicle crashed into Trooper Lumley's vehicle on Georgia 16. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.

Trooper Lumley was flown to Grady Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the following morning.

The suspect pleaded guilty to armed robbery, carjacking, and murder in connection with Trooper Lumley's death. He was sentenced to life in prison, but will be eligible for parole.

Trooper Lumley had served with the Georgia State Patrol for 2.5 years, and was assigned to the Griffin Post. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, parents, and brother.

In 2009 the Georgia Legislature renamed Georgia Highway 18, in Pike County, after Tony Lumley in honor of his service.

Was thinking about Tony today. I was a friend of Tony before he was married and a Trooper, he was a good friend, a great person and I am sure he was an excellent Trooper. We enjoyed motorcycle riding in our youth while looking for, and chasing after, our potential future better halves.... I moved out of the Griffin / Barnesville area, married and started my own family when I heard of his death, by that time we were not hanging out and flying down the road on motorcycles. I don't have the fun today with my friends as I did back then. Rest in Peace my old friend, as I pray for you and your family and also ask for your prayers.
