Charges Dropped Against East Coweta High School Principal Allen

The Coweta County District Attorney's Office has dropped all charges against Stephen Allen, the principal of East Coweta High School, who was arrested on February 24 for alleged domestic violence against his son. Initially charged with battery and criminal trespass for damaging a door, the case was reviewed following claims that Allen threatened his son with a gun. After an expedited investigation, the DA determined the allegations were fabricated, concluding that Allen acted in self-defense during an altercation with his intoxicated son. The DA emphasized the need to resolve such serious allegations promptly to maintain public trust in school leadership. With the charges dismissed, officials have stated that the case is now closed, allowing the community and school system to move forward.
