Former Officer Involved In Missing Dispatcher Case Arrested.
Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson announced Tuesday afternoon that Harbin “Ben” A. Chaffin has been arrested on three felony warrants obtained by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Chaffin was taken into custody late Tuesday afternoon by the 
Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force in Mobile, Alabama. Harbin was transported to the Metro County Jail, Mobile, Alabama, where he will have an extradition hearing.
He is being charged with one count Violation of Oath by Public Officer; one count Tampering with Evidence and one count Computer Invasion of Privacy.
Chaffin was a corporal with the LaFayette Police Department. He worked with missing 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker’s husband, Sam, who was also an officer.
Theresa Parker, 41, was last heard from the night of March 21. Her family reported her missing three days later.
Authorities say her car was still at her house, where she lived alone.
Parker was in the middle of a divorce from Sam Parker when she disappeared, and family members have said the couple had a history of domestic problems. According to 911 logs, police were called to the Parker residence for domestic disputes at least twice, once in 2002 and again in 2004.
Officials have said Sam Parker is a person of interest.
