Sellers, Eric Leroy

Tenure Summary

Eric Leroy Sellers held a series of Georgia Department of Corrections positions across a five-year span documented in state salary records. He served in a Correction Administration post during calendar year 2015, moved into a Warden 2 role in 2016, and then held Warden 3 roles in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The only facility attached to those postings in the records is Spalding County Prison, where he was listed as Warden 3 in 2019. No facility is identified for the 2015 administrative post or the 2016–2018 warden years.

GPS records attribute zero deaths to Sellers's leadership tenures. The deaths-by-facility count is empty, and no incident intelligence reports, facility events, or news mentions naming him fall inside the dated leadership periods in this record. Two federal lawsuits list him as a defendant during those years; both were terminated without a recorded settlement amount.

What happened on their watch

No deaths are attributed to any of Sellers's facility-leadership postings. His leadership-tier years are 2016 (Warden 2) and 2017–2019 (Warden 3), all in Georgia Department of Corrections facilities; only the 2019 Warden 3 assignment at Spalding County Prison is tied to a named facility in the source records. Because the 2015 Correction Administration position is classified as a staff-tier post and the 2016–2018 warden assignments carry no facility identifier, the available records do not support any per-facility accounting for those periods beyond the role and dates themselves.

GPS holds no intel reports or facility events dated within his tenure, and no news coverage naming him directly.

Litigation

• Tilman v. Sellers, No. 5:15-cv-00085 (U.S. District Court, M.D. Ga.), filed March 13, 2015, terminated February 9, 2016. Listed in GPS records as a suit in which Sellers was a defendant; filed while he held the 2015 Correction Administration post and closed during his 2016 Warden 2 year. No outcome amount recorded.
• Major v. Tarrell, No. 5:18-cv-00356 (U.S. District Court, M.D. Ga.), filed September 28, 2018, terminated September 22, 2021. Listed in GPS records as a suit naming Sellers as a defendant; filed during his 2018 Warden 3 year. No outcome amount recorded.

Neither case carries a recorded disposition beyond "terminated," and the available records do not state the claims, findings, or any admissions.
