These four subjects were arrested during a search at Freedom’s Landing Dorms on Lanier Drive conducted based on investigative leads from the homicide case. They were transported to the Bulloch County Jail and later posted bonds and were released.
For various reasons, all these individuals established a presence in Statesboro and became involved in a variety of criminal activities. Their arrests are the culmination of the combined efforts of SPD’s patrol officers, detectives, Impact Team officers, and investigators with Georgia Southern University’s Police Department. Other agencies which participated in the homicide investigation are the Jesup Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff’s Office, and U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Treg Patterson is urged to turn himself in to the Statesboro Police Department on his outstanding warrants.
