A man and woman wanted by White County authorities for kidnapping were taken into custody by the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office Friday, Nov. 8, at a home on Homer Stephens Road, according to Lt. Greg Chastain.
Dylan Anthony Forrester, 30, of Clermont, faces charges in Habersham County of
possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Ashley Nicole Sosebee, 32, of
Cornelia (now Clermont), faces charges of possession of methamphetamine with
intent to distribute and possession of schedule IV drug (Clonazapam).
Authorities said Forrester had a Taurus 9mm handgun on his person, loaded with one in the chamber, when deputies raided the house. He also allegedly possessed a bulletproof vest with ceramic panels and plates, though he was not wearing the vest at the time of his arrest.
Sosebee was allegedly in possession of methamphetamine and Clonazepam at the time of her arrest. Homeowner Scott Arrowood also was arrested Friday morning on a felony probation warrant.
“These arrests followed information we received from a reliable source,” Chastain said. “They are the product of the hard work of our narcotics unit, Lt. Travis Jarrell and our
special operations units, including Sgt. Blake Forrester and deputy Holden Helcher with both our K9s, and Lt. Cason and deputies from our uniform patrol.”

Both Forrester and Sosebee also face charges of kidnapping and two counts of aggravated assault following an Oct. 6 incident.
During the incident, White County deputies responded to a report of an escaped kidnapping victim located in Clermont. Police say the female victim managed to free herself from restraints and called 911 at a nearby residence.
“I’m proud of the work done by my deputies to locate and arrest these two, who now
also face charges in Habersham County,” Sheriff Joey Terrell said. “He was armed at the time of his arrest and in possession of a bulletproof vest, so we’re thankful the arrests of these violent individuals ended safely.”
