According to a report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office, a man was arrested outside a gas station in Menlo after making “inappropriate gestures” to passing motorists and attempting to enter the store, that was closed at the time.  The incident happened on Tuesday of this week at 12:10 AM at the America’s Quick Stop gas station near the intersection of Highway 48 and Jamestown Road.  Deputies responded to a call about a male subject, later identified as 64-year-old George Franklin Atchley, attempting to enter the closed gas station. A passerby flagged down a deputy,  stating they witnessed Atchley, described as wearing a green neon hoodie, repeatedly attempting to enter the store and making lewd, sexual gestures.  When deputies attempted to approach Atchley, he fled on foot. After a brief pursuit, Atchley stopped, but again attempted to flee when the responding deputy tried to exit his patrol vehicle.  Two deputies were able to apprehend Atchley near Showa Best Glove.  Atchley was taken to the Chattooga County Jail on misdemeanor charges of loitering or prowling and obstruction of officers.
