Police probe death in Athens, former Hall Co teacher arrested on sex charges

An autopsy shows no immediate indications of foul play in the death of an Athens man whose body was found earlier this week in woods off Tallassee Road: William Quigley was 53 years old. There is still no word on cause of death.

There are sex charges for a Murrayville man: the Hall County Sheriff’s Office says 26 year-old Taylor Guthrie (pictured above) was a teacher at Chestatee High School. He’s accused of sending unlawful and inappropriate text messages to one of his 16 year-old students. Taylor was booked into and has since bonded out of the Hall County jail.
