A 47-year-old man was arrested in Chattooga County after a deputy discovered he was wanted on three out-of-state warrants.

According to a Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office incident report, Brian Taylor Lynn, 47, was spotted shortly after 2:14 AM on September 23 riding a black motorcycle north on Georgia Highway 114 near Raccoon Creek Road without lights.

The deputy followed the motorcycle and initiated a traffic stop in a private driveway near Charlie Street.

During the stop, Lynn provided identification, and a records check showed he had three outstanding warrants — one from Tennessee and two from Cherokee County, Alabama.

The deputy contacted Cherokee County authorities, who confirmed their warrants and advised that they wanted Lynn held for extradition.

Lynn was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Chattooga County Jail.

The world has lost one of country music’s most beloved voices.

Dolly Parton died Tuesday at the age of 80. The Tennessee native rose from humble beginnings in the Smoky Mountains to become one of the most recognizable and loved entertainers in the world.

Over a career spanning more than six decades, Dolly gave us classics including Jolene, 9 to 5 and I Will Always Love You. But her legacy reaches far beyond music. Through the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, she helped put hundreds of millions of books into the hands of children around the world.

Singer. Songwriter. Actress. Businesswoman. Philanthropist. And, through it all, unmistakably Dolly.

For those of us in this part of the country, she always seemed a little closer to home — a Tennessee mountain girl who never forgot where she came from.

Dolly Parton was 80 years old.

Rest in peace, Dolly. The Smoky Mountains — and the world — will never quite sound the same.
