Atlanta, GA, August 14, 2026 —
Mike McGuffey, a former deputy with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office and a former school resource officer, has been indicted on multiple felony charges. The indictment includes charges of child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes.
The alleged incidents reportedly took place between 2019 and 2020. The victim involved is described as a female child under the age of 16.
At the time of the alleged offenses, McGuffey served as a school resource officer at Smokey Road Middle School. An internal investigation into his conduct was initiated in 2025. McGuffey resigned from his position last year, which was while he was still under investigation. The prior investigation leading to his resignation was related to inappropriate comments made to students.
The Coweta County Sheriff’s Office has not provided further details regarding the timeline of the internal investigation or the specifics of the indictment beyond the charges themselves.
