Macon, Georgia – A traffic stop at Lamont and Napier led to a warrant arrest.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, members of the S.R.T. Unit were conducting proactive patrols and traffic enforcement at the intersection of Lamont Street and Napier Avenue on Thursday when they observed a Buick driver allegedly fail to maintain his lane.
Deputies initiated a stop and determined the driver was wanted on outstanding warrants involving aggravated assault, cruelty to children in the second degree and a probation violation, the sheriff’s office said. Authorities did not release the individual’s name in the initial report.
The driver was arrested at the scene without incident and transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center.
Officials said the arrest stemmed from active warrants and not solely from the traffic violation. The sheriff’s office noted the enforcement action occurred during routine patrol efforts in the area.
The intersection of Lamont Street and Napier Avenue is a frequently traveled corridor in Macon, particularly during afternoon and evening commuting hours. Residents and nearby workers may notice periodic law enforcement activity in the area as deputies continue proactive patrol operations.
No additional details about the underlying assault and probation cases were released Thursday. The investigation remains ongoing, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
