Deer hunters across Northwest Georgia are heading into the final stretch of the season, with firearms deer season ending Sunday, January 11, 2026, in most of Georgia. (A limited number of counties in the southern part of the state have an extended firearms season that runs a few extra days.)
Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Sunday, January 4, 2026:
A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect early Sunday for Chattooga County and surrounding counties across Northwest Georgia as widespread patchy dense fog reduces visibility in many areas. Patchy dense fog is expected between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. Sunday, with the thickest fog producing visibility as low as one-quarter mile or less.
A longtime spiritual leader and beloved figure in Chattooga County, Pastor John Mann, has passed away. Pastor Mann had been hospitalized for several days and died in the early morning hours of Sunday.
