Woman Kills Husband after Finding Porn Video ... - False DVI Reports

The couple had five children together, according to Metts. The oldest is 14 years old. They lived
together on Algrave Way in Richland County, but were estranged. Davis is a realtor with ERA Wilder in
Columbia, and her online per profile puts emphasis on her husband and family. "My husband and I
decided to relocate to Columbia for the purpose of providing our children with the southern comforts of
living," she wrote. "We wanted them to remember riding their bikes through the neighborhood or park
until the street lights come on and Sunday strolls to get ice cream just to name a few. That is what being
here has given us and more."

Woman charged with killing husband is lobbyist (Domestic Violence Lobbyist)
ATLANTA NEWS 5:25 p.m. Wednesday, March 3, 2010
A 45-year-old woman, charged with ending a domestic dispute by killing her 26-year-old husband of five
days, is a registered lobbyist for a group fighting domestic violence.
Arelisha Bridges was ordered held without bond in the Fulton County Jail. She is scheduled for a
preliminary hearing later this month on charges of felony murder, murder, aggravated assault and
possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
Officials said Bridges claimed she was unemployed. But records show she is a lobbyist for an
organization called the National Declaration for Domestic Violence Order; its Web site says the group is
pushing legislation to create a database of those convicted of sex crimes or domestic abuse.
Usually an accused felon will appear at a preliminary hearing a day later, but Bridges' hearing was within
hours of the shooting death of Anthony Rankins. Officials said the court appearance was moved up
because of the unusual circumstances around the crime.
Witnesses told police that Bridges was wearing a nightgown and a shower cap as she argued with
Rankins on the sidewalk on North Avenue near West Peachtree Street around 10:45 p.m. Monday.
And moments later, witnesses said, they heard shots. They said she then "calmly walked away."
A MARTA police officer stopped her as she was getting into her car, perhaps to return to her home
nearby on Centennial Olympic Park Drive.
According to Atlanta police, Bridges told investigators that she and Rankins had been dating for a few
months and were just married on Feb. 24.
Bridges' group isn't among the prominent domestic violence lobbying groups in Georgia, said Kirsten
Rambo, the executive director of the Georgia Commission on Family Violence.
"This is the first I've heard about that organization," Rambo said. "I certainly couldn't say if they were
legitimate or not," she said, adding, "It's certainly a new name to me."
