MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — A Macon man was arrested this week after being caught trespassing at a north Macon business, according to deputies.

A Bibb County Sheriff’s Office news release says 64-year-old Leonard Lee Jefferson is charged with criminal trespass and criminal attempt to commit theft.
