Georgia Sex Offender Charged With Failing to Register

A 43 year-old Chattooga County, Georgia man was recently arrested, on a charge of failing to register properly as a Sex Offender.

He is currently on probation for 20 years as part of his sentencing from 2019.   Shedd was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and booked into the Chattooga County Jail on the current charges.
