Oconee County Sherriff's Office announce arrest in Enticing a Minor for Indecent Purposes

Sheriff Scott Berry announces that Harley Miller has been located.

Sheriff Berry also announces the arrest of Robert Louis Coggins (36) of Kissimmee, FL, on the following charges: Interstate Interference with Custody and Enticing a Minor for Indecent Purposes. Additional charges may be forthcoming locally as well as in Florida.

Coggins is currently in the custody of the Orange County Florida Sheriff’s Office where he was arrested on our charges. The Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office has already filed an extradition letter.

We are exceedingly thankful for the work put in on this case so far and going forward by the Orange County Florida Sheriff’s Office and other local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. While our entire investigations division has been working on this case, we would like to single out the efforts of Investigator David Stauffacher who has neither been home nor been to sleep since receiving this case.

Sheriff Berry went on his personal Facebook page to add:

"Interesting day for a Sheriff today. I watched a great group of lawmen track a fugitive and a missing person across state lines using a combination of old time dogged police work and modern technology and court orders. Not to mention that we were working with both local and federal agencies who quite frankly didn't have the "ownership" in the case that we had. Those men and women dropped everything to set up a surveillance, run all over Orlando covering leads, and using some online trickery to get the job done today. Lee Weems mentioned on his page the hard work of the FBI and the Orange County Florida Sheriff's Office, and I have some advice for you. If you are on the run, or like to entice little girls, Orange County isn't the place to hide, cause they will drop everything to find you. I suspect all in all over 30 lawmen were involved in working our case today, and it was a thing of beauty of watch."

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
