Deputy Carl Maddox Jr Charged with Child Rape

The Henry County Sheriff's Department has fired a deputy accused of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.

Carl Milton Maddox Jr. was fired as a Henry County sheriff’s deputy after being charged with statutory rape and child molestation.

Henry County Sheriff’s Departmen Carl Milton Maddox Jr. was fired as a Henry County sheriff’s deputy after being charged with statutory rape and child molestation.

Carl Milton Maddox Jr., 35, of McDonough was fired immediately after he was arrested on felony charges Monday.

"We're disappointed. We're embarrassed publicly," Sheriff's Chief Deputy David McCart said. "We know that people look at us and we try to maintain a high level of integrity. But we still have officers who are human and make mistakes. And he's accused of making a big one."

Maddox is charged with child molestation, aggravated child molestation, statutory rape and enticing a child for indecent purposes. He was denied bond at a hearing in Superior Court Wednesday afternoon.

Police Capt. Jason Bolton told the Henry Daily Herald that Maddox "was discovered bringing the victim home around 4 a.m. ... by the victim's mother." Maddox's lawyer, Fred Jones, told the newspaper that the alleged victim claimed to be 18 when Maddox met her about six months ago.

Maddox worked in Henry County law enforcement for 12 years, including four years with the police department. He is married with three children, according to the Henry Daily Herald.

Former Officer Lt. Rockey Kummer Arrested for Child Molestation

Sheriff’s deputies arrested a former veteran police officer Wednesday on child molestation charges.

Former Parker Police Lt. Rockey Kummer, 52, of Swan Road, was taken into custody when he arrived at the local airport Wednesday, according to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s Maj. Tommy Ford said investigators “do believe that he was an officer during a portion of these incidents,” which are alleged to have occurred several times between 2000 and 2008.

He served 28 years in law enforcement in Bay County before heading overseas in May 2006, nearly tripling his salary to train border officers and Afghani police for U.S. government subcontractor DynCorp International.

Ford said Parker police came to sheriff’s investigators with the allegations in October, and over the next two months, interviews with the victim and witnesses “verified the original information.”

The victim was not someone Parker arrested, detained or encountered in his capacity as a police officer, Ford said.

Parker police declined to immediately release further details pending an internal investigation.

Kummer frequently served as a police media spokesman over the years. All the cases he worked as an officer are listed in Bay County’s online court records as traffic incidents.

In 2005, the city cut ties with a volunteer firefighter who was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after an argument with Kummer at the scene of a car crash. Those charges later were dropped.

Officer Antonio White Charged with Rape, Incest & Other Sex Charges

Macon police say an officer has been placed on administrative leave after he was arrested on multiple sex charges in Houston County.

Police said in a statement released Friday that 33-year-old Antonio J. White of Warner Robins is charged with rape, incest, aggravated child molestation, aggravated sexual battery, statutory rape, cruelty to children and child molestation.

Sheriff's deputies arrested White around 6:40 p.m. Thursday. He was being held Friday at the Houston County jail without bond.

Houston County arrest warrants allege that the crimes occurred between April 19, 2006 and Sept. 2, 2009.

White's lawyer, Clarence Williams, says the allegations are untrue.

White was hired as a Macon police officer in September 2007.
