A young man from McCalla was arrested in Coosa County last Sunday on a rape and additional charge.
Christopher Nelson, 20 years old, was arrested February 5 and charged with second-degree rape and third-degree criminal trespassing.
Deputies had recently responded to the Rockford area in reference to a situation involving a minor. They conducted an investigation and determined that the identified offender, Nelson, had committed those crimes based on evidence gathered during the investigation.
While he has been arrested on those two charges, the case remains an ongoing investigation. The Sheriff’s Office expects that Nelson will face additional charges.
Nelson’s total bond for both charges has been set at $15,500, and as of press time he remained in custody at the Coosa County Jail awaiting trial.
