The officer has no specific words to say beyond informing you that you are under arrest.
Occasionally you may be placed under arrest without ever being told.
Many people wrongly believe that an officer must read a person their Miranda rights at arrest. This is not correct. Generally, Miranda rights are only necesary at the time of a custodial interrogation.
If you are arrested and not questioned afterward then it is unlikely that you will be given Miranda rights.

Was the Cobb County officer a POLICE officer or were they actually a Deputy SHERIFF? It does make a difference as the two can have different jurisdictional authority. Also, an arrested person will ALWAYS to claim they were arrested "for nothing."
