Hall County Sheriff’s Office Investigators arrested an Oakwood man on Thursday night, September 26, during an investigation involving an obscene photograph. William David Bagwell, 33, was taken into custody without incident at the Sheriff’s Office Headquarters at approximately 10 p.m.
On Thursday morning, the parent of a Hall County student contacted a Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer to report allegations of inappropriate digital communication from a teacher to a student. Sheriff’s Office Detectives immediately began an investigation, working in tandem with School Resource Officers and Hall County School District personnel.
During the initial investigation, they determined that Bagwell, a teacher at West Hall Middle School at the time, sent a photo of his genitals to a 14-year-old female victim via social media. Investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest on Thursday evening.
Bagwell is charged with electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor. He remained in the Hall County Jail without bond on Friday morning, September 27, pending a first appearance hearing.
The case remains under investigation by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
