A man was arrested after deputies say he fled from a traffic stop and was later found in a wooded area following a pursuit on Old Highway 27.
Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Wednesday, March 4, 2026:
Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia are waking up to cloudy skies and areas of patchy fog this morning as warm, moist air moves into the region. Forecasters say a weakening wedge of high pressure has shifted toward the Atlantic, forming more of a Bermuda high pattern. This setup is allowing southeasterly winds to bring warmer and more humid air into the area, gradually pushing temperatures well above normal for early March.
Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Tuesday, March 3, 2026:
Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia are in for a cloudy and cooler stretch today and tonight (Tuesday, March 3, 2026) as a cool-air damming (CAD) wedge strengthens across the eastern side of the state. That setup is being driven by high pressure positioned off the Upper East Coast, funneling cool, moist easterly winds down the eastern seaboard and into Georgia. The result locally will be a gray, low-cloud kind of day, with low ceilings pressing into the region and holding temperatures down compared to what you’d normally expect this time of year.
Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Monday, March 2, 2026:
Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia will notice a cooler and cloudier start to the week as a Cold Air Damming (CAD) wedge builds down the East Coast and settles into Northeast Georgia.
Forecasters say mostly clear skies early Monday will quickly give way to increasing cloud cover, especially across Northeast Georgia. The strengthening wedge will push cooler air into the region, holding afternoon highs in the mid-50s in parts of Northeast Georgia. In contrast, areas farther south in Georgia could still see temperatures climb into the mid-70s.
Chattooga County is taking additional legal steps to recover more than $300,000 in taxpayer funds tied to a controversial broadband project in the Menlo area that never materialized.
