Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Wednesday, September 20, 2023:
A sheriff’s deputy responded to a call about a single-vehicle accident on South Little Sand Mountain Road late last Friday night. When the deputy arrived on the scene and spoke with the driver, the driver said that a car had crossed over into his lane and caused him to run off into the ditch. After entering the ditch, the front tire of the vehicle blew out and there was slight damage to the driver’s front bumper. The Gore Fire Department had responded to the scene and was helping the driver change his tire. The man was able to drive his vehicle away from the scene of the accident and there were no injuries reported.

A Chattooga County Sheriff’s deputy was alerted about a strange vehicle last Thursday on Brooks Road in Summerville. A nearby resident had spotted the Ford Mustang was located, about fifty yards off the roadway. The windows were all down on the car and the tires and wheels had been taken off. Also, the vehicle had been spray-painted green. The deputy reported that he could tell the original color of the Mustang was black. The vehicle registration revealed that the car had been reported stolen in Floyd County, but was registered to a Summerville resident. The incident was turned over to an investigator with the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office.
