A Towns County high school teacher is accused of stealing from fellow teachers and staff. Deputies arrested Adam Trotman on theft charges last week, according to the Towns County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies charged Adam Trotman with ten counts of theft by taking.

In a post on social media, the sheriff’s office says on Sept. 25, they received a report that a teacher had committed “several acts of theft against various faculty and staff members.” The thefts began the second week of August until Sept. 25.

Investigators say Trotman confessed to the thefts.

He was booked at the Towns County Detention Center and released on a $10,000 bond.

According to the Towns County High School website, Trotman was the chorus and drama teacher at the school.

Now Habersham contacted the Towns County School System for information on Trotman’s current employment status. As of publication, the school system had not responded.
