Sandy Springs, Ga., police investigators say they have obtained warrants for a Sanford man — Clarence Caldwell Arquitt Jr., 86, — charging him with child molestation.

A Sandy Springs, Ga., police release reports that a woman, now in her 20s, contacted authorities and met with investigators in August, resulting in warrants issued on the charges of child molestation, aggravated child molestation and sodomy.

Police said information given to investigators indicates that Arquitt, a preacher by profession, worked in numerous positions in several churches in Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Florida, as well as a college in Montgomery, Ala.

Sanford police booked Arquitt on the charges this month and was released on a $30,000 bond, although Georgia investigators are working to secure his extradition.

Officials said Arquitt refused to return to Georgia to answer the charges and is fighting his extradition.

Anyone with information about the case can contact Det. Mike Bailey with Sandy Springs Police at 770-551-3308, or via email at mbailey@sandyspringsga.gov.
