Man identified and charged in Habersham Co. Manhunt

The man charged after Thursday’s manhunt in the Demorest and Cornelia areas has been identified as 45-year-old Marvin Scott of Gainesville. Scott is charged by the Habersham County Sheriff’s Office with theft by receiving stolen property (vehicle), obstruction of an officer, obscured or missing license plate, and driving while license suspended or revoked. A partial tag and the vehicle description were enough to trigger that the vehicle matched one stolen in DeKalb County, prompting the traffic stop to investigate further.
