David Mac Wiggins, 53 of Gaylesville, was arrested Tuesday evening in the Broomtown Community. Wiggins was placed on the Cherokee County “Most Wanted” list after Circuit Judge Shaunathan Bell issued a court order for him to be arrested for violating the conditions of his release on pending charges. Law enforcement officers have been looking for Wiggins for several weeks.

   Sheriff Jeff Shaver and District Attorney’s Investigator Josh Summerford spotted Wiggins riding as a passenger in a pick-up truck Tuesday evening on County Road 46. Upon stopping the truck, Wiggins attempted to flee on foot for a short distance before being apprehended. 

   Wiggins was transported to the Cherokee County Detention Center where he awaits a hearing with Judge Bell. Wiggins faces pending felony charges of receiving stolen property and multiple counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument.
