He had been on suspension since September 4th. He was arrested at the police department by Lanier County Sheriff's Deputies on September 10th. The sheriff's office had been conducting an investigation for about a week.
Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress said he waited to release information about the arrest because he didn't want to compromise the investigation.
