Herschel Walker Only Recently Stopped Renting Out The Georgia Home He Claims As His Residence

When he launched his campaign for U.S. Senate in Georgia, Herschel Walker claimed his deep roots in the state didn’t end with his days as a football legend at the University of Georgia. It was widely known at the time that the Republican hopeful had been living in Texas for decades, though he has claimed to maintain a residence in Atlanta for “17 years.” Less widely known, however, was that Walker’s wife collected tens of thousands of dollars in rental income for that residence, according to his 2021 financial disclosure forms. The house doubled as the Walker campaign’s first official address when he launched his bid in August 2021.

An international fugitive and child sex offender from Georgia was arrested on Saturday in Mexico after nearly five years of evading law enforcement.

Brad A. Hatter was arrested in 2005 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, after he attempted to meet a 9-year-old girl for sexual activity. He planned the meetup after initially making contact with the potential victim online. Authorities arrested him at the meeting location.

Two years later, Hatter was convicted of attempting to entice a minor to engage in sexual activity and was sentenced to nine years in prison.

But according to police, he stopped reporting to his probation officer, stopped registering as a sex offender, and began hiding from authorities.
