Judge doesn’t issue warrants for couple accused of white supremacy, antisemitic language, threats

COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — Channel 2 Action News has learned a judge in Coweta County has declined to issue warrants for a fired Delta Airlines manager and his wife in a case involving allegations of white supremacy and antisemitic language and threats.

Two Delta Airlines security officials, both former federal agents, had alleged the threats and sought warrants.

The matter landed in front of a magistrate judge in Coweta County Monday.

Channel 2′s Mark Winne obtained documents indicating that Judge Robert Stokely found no probable cause to issue warrants.

Winne obtained criminal arrest warrant applications filed by Raymond Pitesky, a corporate security investigator for Delta, for Charmon Aaron, also known as Ann; her husband Christopher Aaron; and George Taylor, the general manager of corporate security for Delta.

In a document, Pitesky alleges the Aarons have been using a social media “Gab” account to lodge threats against him.

Pitesky linked it to his involvement in an investigation into Christopher Aaron’s social media behavior as a Delta employee.

It suggests threats eventually became more violent in nature following Aaron’s termination in March and eventually the account posted his photo.

Taylor’s application regarding Ann Aaron alleges online threats and intimidation, terroristic threats, and alleges Ann is a self-proclaimed white “supremist” and neo-Nazi.

She says she is not.

“Are you a self-proclaimed white supremacist or any other kind of white supremacist?” Winne asked.

“Nope. Sure ain’t. I don’t believe the white race is above anybody. As a matter of fact what I believe in is what every race should do. Love your people!” Ann Aaron said. “Love for your own race does not mean hate for other people.”

Ann Aaron confirmed her Gab site to Channel 2 Action News.

The Aarons said none of the posts on the Gab social media site discussed in Coweta County Magistrate Court Monday were threatening toward Taylor and Pitesky and Ann Aaron said they were her posts, not at all her husband’s.

The Aarons said Delta fired Chris Aaron earlier this year after the FBI contacted Delta security about him.

The Aarons allege he was fired because of his wife’s personal and political beliefs.

Winne received copies of the Gab posts at issue. One uses the “n-word” and some show guns and swastikas.

But rulings Channel 2 obtained late Monday afternoon indicate a magistrate judge basically found a lack of probable cause that the posts at issue contained terroristic threats as set forth in Georgia law, and in the case of a former Delta employee, lack of probable cause shown that he made the posts.

A spokesperson for Delta said in an email, “While Delta has no specific comment on private personnel matters—including the Coweta County Magistrate Court proceedings today—the circumstances described by our former employee are not an accurate or complete explanation of the company’s termination decision.”

Ann Aaron said she heard a comment from Taylor that seemed to try to link her to the widely publicized distribution of antisemitic flyers.

She said she does throw flyers, but she didn’t throw those.
