Macon, GA, October 15, 2026 —

Perry police arrested Austin Robert Mullis, 38, on charges of child exploitation and obscene internet contact, according to the available information. The arrest followed an investigation that began after a confrontation at the Georgia National Fair.

The alleged criminal conduct is separate from the fair incident, the summary of the case states. The connection described is that the confrontation preceded the investigation; no further details about the confrontation or how investigators pursued the case were provided.

The information available does not identify when the arrest occurred, where it took place, or what specific conduct underlies the charges. It also does not provide details about the alleged contact, identify any other people involved, or state whether Mullis has entered a plea. No court date, police statement or case disposition was included.

The charges are allegations, and the information provided does not establish the outcome of the case. The arrest is the latest reported development; no further steps in the investigation or court proceedings were described.
