FORMER DEPUTY ARRESTED IN DOMESTIC INCIDENTS

Coffee County, GA — The Coffee County Sheriff’s Office was recently made aware of domestic incidents involving one of our detectives. Upon receiving this information, the employee was immediately placed on suspension. Sheriff Cole then notified the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and requested an independent investigation while an internal policy review was conducted. Following that review, the employee was terminated for violating agency policy.

Based on the investigation, the GBI has arrested 41 year old Shantokeo Rolax on multiple charges related to the incident. Rolax faces felony charges of providing false statements or writings to a government agency, violation of oath by a public officer, criminal trespass, harassing phone calls, stalking, false report of a crime, willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, unlawful conduct during 911 calls, and influencing a witness. At this time, no further details are available. Additional information will be released by the GBI as the investigation continues.
