The Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office reports 18-year-old Ivan Ethan Shaw was arrested January 7, 2026 after a deputy responded to a call about an employee who may have active felony warrants.

According to the incident report, the deputy contacted E-911 and later the Chattooga County Jail to confirm the suspect’s identity and warrant status. The report states jail personnel advised the deputy Shaw had active warrants for robbery, entering a vehicle with intent to commit theft, and theft by taking.

The deputy coordinated with the Summerville Police Department and made contact with Shaw near the Providence Ministries parking area, according to the report. The report alleges that when Shaw was asked for identification, he provided a false name and date of birth.

The Sheriff’s Office report states Shaw then attempted to leave on foot and was detained. He was arrested on an obstruction charge, and the report says he was also taken into custody based on the active warrants. Shaw was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without incident.
