Here is the latest arrest report from the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office for Tuesday, March 31, 2026:
Chattooga County and much of Northwest Georgia are waking up to a mild and slightly damp start this Tuesday, with brief sprinkles and patchy fog possible through the morning hours—especially in low-lying areas and near rivers and creeks. Little to no accumulation is expected, but reduced visibility could impact early travel.
Chattooga County remains entirely under drought conditions as March comes to a close, highlighting the deepening dry pattern that continues to affect Northwest Georgia. The drought has become a growing concern for local communities, farmers, landowners, and emergency officials as rainfall deficits continue to build and the landscape becomes increasingly dry.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Chattooga County will recognize the occasion with its Annual Pinwheel Ceremony today, Tuesday, March 31. Chattooga DFCS and Chattooga Family Connection will host the ceremony at 11 a.m. at Dowdy Park as part of local efforts to raise awareness and show support for children and families.
Forest landowners across Northwest Georgia will have a chance to gain practical, hands-on advice for managing and improving their property during a free field day set for Tuesday, April 7, in Summerville.
This week’s WZQZ Chattooga Animal Shelter Pet of the Week is Diesel, a friendly dog looking for a forever home.

The shelter is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Wednesday visits are available by appointment. For more information, call 706-857-0679.
