Police blotter: child molestation, peeping tom arrests

Athens-Clarke County Police say a truck driver was not seriously injured in the big-rig crash that closed much of the Lexington Road corridor for several hours Tuesday morning. The truck overturned on Highway 78 near Gaines School Road, causing traffic back-ups that extended far into Oglethorpe County. 

A 23 year-old Madison County man faces peeping tom charges: Mark Tatum was arrested in Hull after allegedly taking cell phone pictures of a woman through the window of her home. 

A Gainesville man is in the Hall County jail, held there without bond: there are sexual battery and child molestation charges for 65 year-old Robert Chandler, molestation allegations stemming from his reported involvement with a 4 year-old girl.

The search continues in Covington, where police were, at last report, still trying to find four fully-loaded box trucks reported stolen from a Newton County landscaping company. Total value of the trucks and the equipment: an estimated $150,000.
