A 60-year-old Douglas man who was released from federal prison on Friday, March 14, 2025, was booked into the Coffee County Jail the same day on charges stemming from an incident that took place before he began serving his federal sentence.

Kyle Banner Waldron, 60, pleaded guilty to money laundering in April of last year after an investigation by the IRS and Secret Service determined that Waldron submitted at least 20 different PPP or EIDL applications on behalf of multiple businesses and individuals. To obtain loan funds, Waldron submitted multiple fake IRS forms in support of the funding applications and falsely claimed large numbers of non-existent employees and inflated revenues in fraudulent requests for PPP and EIDL funding. Those applications resulted in SBA disbursements of more than $1.3 million. Waldron was sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay $1.3 million in restitution.

On May 16, 2024, agents from the GBI has arrested and charged Roger Goddard, age 50, of Douglas, with Surveillance Which Invades the Privacy of Another and False Statements. The Coffee County Board of Education Police Department asked the GBI to investigate in Feburary 2024 after someone notified them that Goddard and another person were observed putting a tracking device on a teacher’s car on school property. Goddard was employed as the Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Douglas and was a Georgia POST-certified law enforcement officer. Goddard was allegedly conducting surveillance on another individual at the behest of Waldron.

Waldron was already serving his federal sentence by the time GBI agents took warrants against him for his alleged involvement in the surveillance case. When Waldron was released from prison, he reported to the Coffee County Jail where he was booked on charges including unlawful eavesdropping or surveillance and making false statements. Waldron was released on bond shortly after booking.
