MONROE, GA. (April 8, 2022) Monroe Police Chief R.V. Watts confirmed that Monroe City Councilman Norman Garrett was arrested today and transported to Walton County Jail. At 1 p.m. he was no longer listed on the jail roster so he likely has since bonded out.

“He was initially stopped for a traffic violation and that led into him being arrested for obstructing a police officer,” Watts said. “(It was) around 9 a.m. this morning.”

The incident is still being investigated and Watts said more details will follow.

Garrett is the District 5 representative for the City of Monroe and was the Chairman of the Walton County Democratic Party.
