Watkinsville Police: 'Suspicious Person' Was Wanted for Robbery, Parole Violation

A man going door to door in the White Subdivision in Watkinsville offering to trim trees for a price last week was wanted for robbery and parole violation, police said.

Officers confronted Jamie Shawn Chambers, 34, of Evans, after neighbors complained about his suspicious behavior around 3 p.m. on Oct. 26,  Chief Lee O'Dillion reported in a news release.
