MACON COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) – An Oglethorpe man has been arrested following a Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) child abuse investigation.

According to a GBI press release, 32-year-old Edvardo Johnson is charged with two counts of cruelty to children, two counts of reckless conduct and two counts of serving alcohol to persons under the age of 21.

On May 6, both the Macon County Sheriff’s Office and the Montezuma Police Department requested GBI assistance in their ongoing child abuse investigations.
