Identity Confusion

April 22 at 3:07 a.m. Officer Denna was flagged down by three males in front of Milledgeville City Hall, according to Public Safety. The three males advised the officer that a male was following them and had asked them to buy him food at the Golden Pantry. The three males said no to the man’s request. Contact was made with the male who had the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his breath. Officer Denna asked him if he had any identification and he did not, but he verbally stated his name. Dispatch advised they were unable to get his information to come back through GCIC. Officer Denna then attempted to get correct identification.  The male gave Officer Denna three different dates of birth, all which failed to come back through GCIC. When explaining to him that his information was not coming back, the male became boisterous and used profane and unbecoming language. Officer Denna placed him under arrest for public drunkenness and he was transported to the Milledgeville Police Station where he was held until he could be properly identified.  Later, the Milledgeville Police Department notified Officer Denna of the male’s real identification.  Officer Denna secured two state warrants for public drunkenness and giving a false name to officers.

She said it was silver platinum with 14.41 carats of diamonds in it.  The approximate value of the bracelet is $30,000.  The female advised Sgt.

Birthday Blues

April 20 at 7:20 p.m. Sgt. Reonas responded to the parking lot behind Foundation Hall in reference to a disturbance at that location, according to Public Safety.  The male complainant advised dispatch that he had observed a male and a female in a white SUV arguing violently.  The complainant said that when he confronted the male subject, he attacked him, and that the female currently had him locked out of the car and he was still on the scene trying to get back in.  Upon arrival, Sgt. Reonas located the vehicle and saw the male subject standing outside the car screaming and trying to open the door as the female tried to back out of the parking spot.  Sgt. Reonas ordered the male subject to place his hands behind his back and he complied, at which time Sgt. Reonas detained him pending further investigation.  After detaining the subject, Sgt. Reonas made contact with the initial male complainant, who told him that while walking across the parking lot to his car he had observed the male and the female as the female was screaming hysterically for the male to get out of the car.  He told Sgt. Reonas that even after getting some distance from the car he could still hear screaming so he went back to the car and attempted to confront the male subject.  Upon doing so, the male subject began swinging at the compliant, striking him several times in the face, biting him and breaking skin.  The compliant eventually restrained the male subject with a headlock. A male witness confirmed the compliant’s story.  Finally, Sgt. Reonas made contact with the female who advised him that her and the male had gotten into an argument because it was her birthday and he was acting like he did not care.  She said that she was more or less trying to break up with him and that he became belligerent. She told him repeatedly to get out of the car but he refused. A state warrant was secured charging the male subject with one count of battery.

Bad Sushi

The male stated that he had not consumed any alcoholic beverages. When tested with a breathalyzer, the male registered positive for alcohol in his system with a B.A.C. reading of 0.149 grams.  Officer Ransom then placed the male under arrest, transported him to Milledgeville Detention and issued him a citation for underage possession of alcohol.
