From BainbridgeGa.com Arrests & Incidents July 30 At about midnight, a mother reported that her 15 year old son was having sex with a 29 year old woman. She reported a letter was found where he had written to the woman and when she questioned him, she stated he admitted it. In addition, she reported the woman's stepfather had come to see her the previous Saturday and told her he thought something was going on between the 2.

The complainant pointed to a silver and orange Monte Carlo driving away and said the offender, Timothy Tarver, had her child with him in the car and also had a gun. Captain Robert Humphrey attempted to stop the vehicle on Shotwell Street with lights and siren but he continued on. Officers followed him as he turned onto West Street Officer Mills was able to get in front of him, and along with Captain Humphrey and Cpl Nigel Hurst, performed a rolling road block, totally blocking him in. Stopping him, they approached the car with guns drawn and instructed him to exit the vehicle. He did and was handcuffed saying "I was just going to my mother's house."

July 25 Public Safety Officer Brett Trammell responded to Zaxbys in reference to an employee theft. Officer Trammell viewed the store video. He reported the video showed Felicia Washington using an employee discount card to take money. In the video, he witnessed Felicia Washington take cash from a customer at the drive thru and place it beside the cash register. Washington then used a calculator to get the correct amount of change. She then got the change from her own pocket and gave the food and change to the customer. The money beside the register was then put in her pocket. Washington never opened the cash register during the transaction. The total reported taken July 22 and 23 was $455. The restaurant advised the investigator that they did not want to prosecute at this time. July 17 A truck parked at Stones Landing Park while the owner went fishing was reported damaged.

Sgt Greg McMillan also discovered the gas line had been cut and the gas drained from the vehicle. July 16-20 A resident on Anderson Street reported her car was damaged by someone painting gang words and symbols on the driver side door and hood. A florescent orange paint was used and 2 partially used cans were found nearby. She reported this occurred sometime between July 16 and 20. In addition, someone broke into her storage shed and a TV was removed and placed on the ground. The gang symbols and paint matched the same markings that were painted on a College Street house that was also reported damaged during the same time period. July 17 About 11:15 pm Officer Gary Hines spotted a yellow pickup truck weaving in and out of lanes and all over the roadway. After a sharp turn onto Scott without a turn signal, he stopped him. The truck had a suspended registration and the officer spoke with the driver. James Benton said he did not have his license with him and there was a strong odor of alcohol. When Mr Benton got out, he fell backwards against the door. When told he was under arrest for DUI, he began to cuss and struggle while handcuffs were being placed on him. He then had some very "unkind" word for Officer Hines including that next time he stopped him he would kill him. 24 year old James Turner Benton Jr, of Fleming Dr was charged with failure to maintain lane, failure to use turn signal, driving while tag is suspended, driving w/0 license on person, disorderly conduct, no insurance and DUI.

She reported to Officer Kenneth Ellison that someone had removed an air conditioner and entered her home. Items taken were 2 TVs, 2 microwaves and the A/C.

On his way, he passed a walking Issac Jerriard Johnson.
The resident also reported that on the previous night, Issac Jerriard Johnson was seen pushing a shopping cart. Cpl Carr then found an abandoned cart setting beside Boulevard. Of course a shopping cart is not unusual, but in this cart was a tire iron, that could easily be used to gain entry into a home. It was taken into evidence and Investigator Alton Brock was notified.

They told the deputy he missed and hit his own trailer. The husband stated that he was called by his soon-to-be ex-wife and asked to come and help sort property. He stated that when he arrived he did hit the gas but was not trying to hit anyone. He stated he "slammed on the brakes" but his truck slid because of the wet grass and he hit his home. The next evening, several trespass warnings were needed and given to individuals from both sides along with instructions not to contact the other.

Deputy Black had previously received a complaint that the body shop owner on Sunset Drive was burning antifreeze bottles, oil cans and other hazardous materials.

He came back out of the house with his pistol in hand and the offender took off running north on Lamar Street. July 11 Around 11 pm, Public Safety Captain Fred Black and Officer Collin Hastey responded to Red Barn Trailer Park in reference to a domestic dispute. Evidently Dan had complained about the kind of hot dogs Sarah had bought. Sarah became very upset and loud towards Dan. The officers were able to calm them down and left. Then at about 1 am, Officer Hastey again responded to the residence. Now the dispute was over some teddy bears. Sarah stated that Dan would not give her back her bears. Sarah was being loud and boisterous toward Dan and they were warned they were distubing the neighbors. Dan quieted down but Sarah continued to be loud and disorderly.

Harrison advised the owner, Shannon Arney, that the dog was required to have a leash and tags on the collar. Sgt. Harrison then placed him under arrest for city ordinance leash law and dog tag requirement and transported him to public safety. July 1 I guess you really need to be a heartless thief to attempt to steal an air conditioner from an occupied home.
On the previous day the owner of the house just a few doors away, reported a burglary. Parts of the AC from both the inside and outside the home had been taken. The evaporator core had been removed along with the copper tubing. June 28 Marquita Washington likes a weekend out sometimes... so she just drops her kids off at her mother's residence. On this Saturday evening, Public Safety Sgt Jack Bunting was called. The problem is that Marquita's mother is in a wheelchair and perhaps has had a stroke. She has told Marquita over and over she could not handle the kids, but, oh well, she needs her weekend right? 25 year old Marquita had her first child when she was 16, her second when she was 19 and her 3rd child when she was 22. One of her children told the officer that his mother drops he and his sisters off every weekend and he wants to spend some time with her. She just does not love us he told the officer. He said he did not know where she was nor when she was returning. Sgt Bunting could not locate the mother and called DEFACs. One child went to his father's house and 2 children went to another residence to be cared for. Marquita has been warned about leaving the children several times before by Officer Bunting and DEFACs. © Copyright by BainbridgeGa.com |
