COCHRAN, Ga. — A man from Sandy Springs is now in custody and charged with the murder of a woman found dead on the side of a road in Bleckley County over the weekend.
According to a news release, 40-year-old Hugo Bolanas was arrested in Jackson, Alabama, on Monday.
He faces charges in the death of 35-year-old Brigida Roldan-Beltran, whose body was found on Brodhead Road around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
