Rossville Child Predator suspect arrested in Pigeon Forge

ROSSVILLE, Georgia (WDEF) – The man wanted in Rossville this spring as a child predator has been arrested in Pigeon Forge.

Back in May, Police say 67 year old Dennis Dewayne Dockery cut an ankle monitor and ran.

He had been indicted on charges of molesting multiple victims last August.

Rossville Police said they considered him a child predator.

But a judge gave him bail and the monitoring device.

They said he had friends and family in the Tellico Plains area.

Dockery was captured on Thursday in Pigeon Forge after a two-month manhunt.

Police say they found a loaded firearm in his waistband.
