COFFEE COUNTY, Ga. — A deputy in south Georgia is facing several charges after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says he was stalking his ex, who was also a deputy.
The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office asked the GBI earlier this month to help them investigate several incidents of harassment and property damage that may have involved one of their deputies.
