DDS worker arrested in Hall Co, SWAT standoff ends in Barrow Co

A Gainesville man is in the Hall County jail, facing charges that include child molestation. There are also 76 counts of identity fraud for 25 year-old Estaban Olivas. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says Olivas, who worked at the Department of Drivers Services office in Gainesville, had more than six dozen drivers licenses with other people’s photographs and information on them; most from Georgia, one from Massachusetts. The child molestation arrest comes from a warrant issued by police in Oakwood.

Three people are behind bars after a SWAT standoff in Barrow County. The four-hour siege happened at a home in Hoschton, where deputies were trying to serve an arrest warrant on 24 year-old Jacob Shelton of Gainesville. Also arrested after hours of negotiations were 24 year-old Johnny Madwell of Flowery Branch and 19 year-old Anna Damewood of Gainesville. There were no injuries reported.
