COTTONDALE — A former Cottondale High School principal turned himself in on Thursday evening after a warrant was issued for his arrest for sexual misconduct with a student.According to a release from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, on Dec. 2, 2019, the sheriff’s office received information that a local principal was having an inappropriate relationship with a student. After an investigation into the matter, it was allegedly revealed that 35-year-old, Kenyonis “Ken” Granger, former principal at Cottondale High School, had been in an inappropriate with a 16-year-old student. The investigation further allegedly revealed that Granger had been privately messaging the student since she was 14 years old.

After his 21-year-old daughter, Jolisa, died in a car accident, Joseph Roadcap struggled with his grief . He lived that way for a while until he usedc his daughter's life insurance money to purchase a property on Grove Street in Garcon Pointe, where wildlife like glass lizards, bald eagles and black bears are common sights. For the last year, Roadcap has been living in a house on the land and renting out the back portion of his property, which he turned into a Christian Airbnb campground with two small pre-built cabins, a bathhouse and a tent site.

But now what Roadcap calls his daughter's legacy may be in jeopardy. Zoning code for his property, currently designated as residential, only allows for one secondary structure and his request last week to rezone to an active park designation was denied by Santa Rosa County Commissioners.

Only one cabin can be reopened after building inspectors ensure it's up to code and Roadcap must wait a year before reapplying for the rezoning again, which could allow the second cabin, bathhouse and tent site to reopen, said Shawn Ward, planning and zoning director.
