A man reported to police that he was shot in front of his home Wednesday.

According to an incident report, deputies from the Newton County Sheriff’s Office were contacted by Conyers

Police detectives to assist at a home on Fieldstone Lane.

Conyers detectives said a man was at the Rockdale County Hospital with a gunshot wound in his arm, and his wife said the shooting occurred at their Newton County residence Wednesday morning.

NCSO deputy Felecia Jefferson said, “The victim stated that he received the wound when he was robbed at gunpoint. Deputies went out to the residence and they did find evidence of the incident. The case is still under investigation.”

Jefferson said shell casings were found in front of the home. No other details were released.

Jefferson said the Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office also assisted in the investigation.

Man charged with molestation

A Covington man has been arrested and charged with child molestation.

NCSO Deputy Felecia Jefferson said deputies arrested Stephen Kelley Parker, 55, on Nov. 6 after an investigation of allegations that he had sex with a 15-year-old female.

Jefferson said NCSO investigators conducted forensic interviews after the victim told an adult that she had been assaulted over the course of the past two years. Jefferson said the adult then notified law enforcement.

Jefferson noted that Parker was known to the victim’s family. No further details were given.

Parker has been charged with aggravated sodomy and child molestation and remains in the Newton County Jail, Jefferson said.
