Note: All information included in this report is taken from law enforcement incident reports and arrest records, which are public records and available for review at any and all local law enforcement agencies. Not every arrest leads to a conviction. Guilt or innocence is determined by the court system.

CORRECTION: Richard Michael Rogers, 50, McCoy Road, listed in September as being arrested by the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office on a bench warrant, was later released and the charge dropped due to a recording error. Although the matter had been settled in court in 2008, records still incorrectly showed he was wanted. Rogers was released per orders by a sheriff’s lieutenant after the error was confirmed.
