UPDATE (Oct. 10, 9:25 p.m.): The Covington News has obtained incident reports from both the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) and Newton County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) for Christopher Michael McNabb.

FCSO makes arrest in 2011

After witnessing McNabb drive the wrong way down a one-way street, a FCSO deputy attempts a traffic stop on Aug. 2, 2011. McNabb did not stop after the officer turned on his emergency lights, and started a pursuit.

During the pursuit, the vehicle driven by McNabb, which was stolen from his father, hit a curb and the left front tire was flattened. McNabb continued to flee and eventually stopped in a parking lot and fled on foot.

Nearly two hours after the initial traffic stop was initiated, deputies located McNabb and he was arrested and charged with driving on a suspended license, driving on wrong side of roadway, speeding, stop sign violation, failure to maintain lane and felony fleeing.

McNabb arrested in 2013 for shoplifting in Covington

While responding to another incident, a NCSO deputy was approached by a CVS employee claiming McNabb had just left the store, located at the intersection of Highway 36 and the Covington Bypass, after shoplifting.

Once caught, McNabb provided the wrong name to the deputy before confirming his real identity. Once his real name was provided, an active warrant out of Fayette County was returned.

All of the stolen items totaled $164.23.

McNabb was charged with shoplifting, giving false name or information to a law enforcement officer. A hold was also placed on his warrant.

McNabb cited for incident in Fayette County Jail in 2013

On Dec. 8, 2013, McNabb was charged with obstruction after failing to follow an order by a Fayette County Jail officer.

The officer reportedly told McNabb to gather his things and enter a cell to be placed on lockdown. McNabb refused.

While the officer approached McNabb and attempted to gain control of him, he pulled away and turned away, causing an officer to lose balance. McNabb was tackled to the floor and placed in handcuffs before being escorted out of the unit.

McNabb nabbed when NCSO searching for another man

On Oct. 1, 2014, NCSO was serving an arrest warrant on another man when McNabb fled the scene when deputies arrived. Once caught, McNabb told the deputies he had five felony warrants out of other counties. Warrants came back from Coweta County and Fayette County.

While running after McNabb, a tree hit one of the deputies in the face, causing a cut on his eyelid.

McNabb was charged with willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence, obstruction or hindering law enforcement officers, simple battery on an officer and terroristic threats and acts.

UPDATE (Oct. 7, 7:10 p.m.): Newton County Sheriff's Office (NCSO) investigators are looking for a 15-day-old female child that is missing from her parent's home at Lot 31 of the Eagle Mobile Home Park off Highway 36 in Newton County as of 10 a.m. Saturday morning. 

NCSO Captain Keith Crum said Caliyah C. McNabb was born prematurely on Sept. 24 and weighs about 5 pounds. She has dark hair, dark eyes and a mole on her hairline on the left side. 

Crum said both the child's mother and father reported seeing her around 5 a.m. for a feeding. She was then placed in a back bedroom of the residence with her 2-year-old sister. The parents slept in another room of the residence. 

Around 10 a.m., the father noticed the child was missing and searched the residence and the surrounding area and was unable to locate the child. That is when he called 911 and NCSO deputies, criminal investigation unit and K-9 units responded. 

Crum said additional personnel was called in and the trailer park and surrounding area was searched. The K-9 reportedly led the officers down a trail but was unable to locate anything. 

Crum said the search will continue "probably until dark or until we can't search anymore."

NCSO has conducted interviews with both parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles of the child with no leads. A search has also been conducted in the residence where the child was last seen. Crum said there is no indication that a family member would have taken the child from the home.

Crum said NCSO is reviewing all of its options. He was not sure if an Amber Alert would be issued for the child, as investigators do not have a vehicle, tag number or any other identifying information to search for. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact NCSO. Anonymous tips can be left online at www.newtonsheriffga.org or by phone to 678-625-1401.
