The GBI has arrested and charged Roger Goddard, age 50, of Douglas, Georgia, with Surveillance Which Invades the Privacy of Another and False Statements.

Goddard was employed as the Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Douglas and was a Georgia POST-certified law enforcement officer.

GBI agents took Goddard into custody at the Douglas City Hall without incident on May 16, 2024.  He was booked into the Coffee County Jail.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the GBI Regional Investigative Office in Douglas at (912) 389-4103.  Anonymous tips can also be submitted by calling 1-800-597-TIPS (8477), online at https://gbi.georgia.gov/submit-tips-online, or by downloading the See Something, Send Something mobile app.

This investigation is active and ongoing. Once the investigation is complete, the case file will be given to the Waycross Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office for review and prosecution.
