Floyd County Police report that a wildfire in Rosedale, which burned around 200 acres on Sunday, was intentionally set, and charges will be filed. The fire spread across Highway 156 in two areas, threatening the Southern Woods subdivision and prompting evacuations. “We contained it,” said Fire Chief Troy Brock, crediting the success to strong collaboration among various agencies and the Rosedale community. Deputy Chief Brad Roberson noted that the manpower for the Rosedale fire left only two units available for the entire county. Fortunately, they quickly activated two reserve units and received assistance from multiple agencies, including:

- Summerville Fire Department
- Gore Fire Department
- Polk County Fire Department
- Gordon County Fire Department
- Cedartown Fire Department
- Chattoogaville Fire Department
- Atrium EMS
- AdventHealth EMS
- Georgia Department of Public Health
- Floyd County Sheriff’s Office
- Floyd County Police
- Floyd County Emergency Management
- Georgia State Patrol
- Georgia Department of Natural Resources
- Georgia Forestry Commission
- Georgia Emergency Management
- Floyd Springs Baptist Church
- Armuchee Baptist Church

Roberson thanked the community, especially Armuchee residents, for their support in protecting properties and helping neighbors. “They were actively involved and supported us throughout the incident. We truly appreciate their help.” While the wildfire seems to have been deliberately set, even controlled burns can become dangerous. “There are times during this season when burning is tempting,” Brock noted. “While burning can be necessary this time of year, it’s important to proceed with caution.”

Two Chatsworth Residents Now Face S*x Charges...

On March 12, 2025, officers with the Floyd County Police Department and the Rome-Floyd Metro Task Force contacted the Murray County Sheriff’s Office to notify them that two Chatsworth individuals were attempting to meet a 14 year old female for sexual purposes. FCPD and RFMTF gathered this information from an undercover chat operation. The individuals, identified as Johnathan Eastridge and Jessica Thomas, were subsequently charged with the following: Criminal Attempt to Commit Child Molestation, S*xual Exploitation of Minors, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Possession of Drug Related Objects.

The Murray County Sheriff’s Office intercepted J. Eastridge as he arrived to the scheduled meetup between himself and who he believed to be a 14 year old female. MCSO apprehended J. Eastridge at this time, then arrested J. Thomas at her residence due to her involvement in the case.

The following is an account of the remainder of the investigation conducted by the Murray County Sheriff’s Office: “Upon further investigation, it was determined that the individuals were in possession of additional child exploitative material. A search warrant was executed at 342 Deep Woods Dr which yielded several devices containing child sexual abuse material and items related to the sexual abuse of children.”

The collaboration of these agencies led to the arrest of the individuals listed who may have had the opportunity to prey on more children in their community or others. We appreciate the assistance of the Murray County Sheriff’s Office and their work pertaining to this investigation.
