Disorderly conduct leads to arrest

On Oct. 14, 2007, at approximately 2:36 a.m., Officer Reonas and Officer Pissott were flagged down by a subject who stated he had been punched in the face and the suspect ran into an apartment on North Wayne Street. When Officer Reonas arrived at the apartment, the door slammed and he could hear it being locked. Officer Reonas knocked on the door several times and after about five minutes a male subject opened the door. While speaking with the subject, Officer Reonas could detect the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. While trying to explain to the subject the nature of the officer’s visit, the male subject started smirking and laughing. He was then  instructed to get the residents out of the house so the Officer could talk to them. He yelled several times upstairs and no one came down. Officer Reonas then asked the male subject to go upstairs and get the occupants, or he would do it himself. The subject then threw up his hands and put his face two inches from Officer Reonas’s face and yelled “go to the judge and get a search warrant.” He was then placed under arrest and transported to Milledgeville Police Department and charged with Disorderly Conduct. The events were witnessed by two GCSU Officers and two Milledgeville Police Department Officers.

Lewd acts lead to complaints

On Oct. 16, 2007 at approximately 7:53 p.m., a female student reported to Public Safety that at 3:30 p.m., she offered to share her blanket on Front Campus with a male. She stated that the male was approximately 41 years of age and made unwanted sexual comments and lewd acts by groping himself in front of her. The female subject said she bought him dinner at the dining hall and attempted to help him find a job at MSU, all the while the male continued to make lewd remarks and gestures. After about 3 hours, the female decided to report the incident to Public Safety because she was afraid she would be stalked.
