Deputy Sgt Jeffrey Roberts Terminated for having Inappropriate Relationship with teen

COLBERT, Ga.

A Madison County sheriff's deputy was forced to turn in his badge amid allegations he had what the sheriff termed "an inappropriate relationship" with a teenage girl.

Deputy Sgt. Jeffrey Roberts was terminated on Monday, according to Sheriff Clayton Lowe.

Lowe said in a statement Thursday that an internal inquiry was launched. He said he also notified the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Roberts, who also serves on the Colbert City Council, allegedly had a relationship with a 16-year-old female.

Lowe said the district attorney will determine whether Roberts will face charges.
