The Banks County Sheriff's Office arrested a Commerce man Thursday on an aggravated child molestation charge following a traffic stop.
According to a press release from the agency, Samuel McDuffie, 60, was charged with a single count of felony aggravated child molestation.
An earlier social media post from the agency said they conducted a traffic stop on McDuffie to serve the felony warrant at about 4:40 p.m. on Highway 59.
"Prior to the stop, deputies received information the suspect was possibly armed," the release said. "After arresting the suspect, a firearm with multiple fully loaded magazines were located near the driver’s seat."
The incident is still under investigation and additional charges may be forthcoming.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact Investigator Michael Alford at [email protected] or call 706-677-2248 ext. 4015.
