A Georgia man is facing multiple child molestation charges after being arrested in Pigeon Forge.

67 year-old Dennis Dewayne Dockery was arrested after a two-month long manhunt.

Dockery was originally arrested in August 2021 on multiple counts of child molestation. The charges stemmed from a local investigation that revealed that Dockery may have been molesting since 2002.

Dockery had reportedly tampered with his ankle monitor and fled to the East Tennessee area in May.

Dockery was arrested without incident but he did have a loaded gun in his waistband at the time. He was taken to the Sevier County jail.
