Deputy Travis Kiser Arrested for Trespassing


A former Valdosta police officer is facing charges for criminal trespass.

Valdosta Police arrested 25-year-old Travis Kiser on Tuesday, May 5th.

Police say around 8:30 AM at the Woodstone Apartments in Valdosta, Kiser got into an argument with his ex-girlfriend and broke a mirror off her car.

"Certainly we were upset with what happened, but our guys fully understand that we can't allow that. I mean, we're a profession just like the media is a profession. And the difference with us though is that we're in law enforcement and if we don't police ourselves, what are we telling the community?" said COMM Brian Childress of the Valdosta Police Department.

Police say Kiser was later arrested, then taken to the Lowndes County Jail.

Kiser is currently out on bond and works as a deputy for the Lanier County Sheriff's Office.
