A Madison County man was arrested Monday on one count of Obscene Internet Contact with a Child by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s Child Exploitation and Computer Crimes Unit.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, 24-year-old Mack Lee Lackey was arrested after the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office asked the GBI to assist with an investigation about a man chatting online with a 10-year-old child.
