• Police were called in reference to a prowler. It was not a mysterious prowler, but one who had been previously banned from the apartment complex. Police arrived at the apartment indicated in the call, and spoke with the woman who lived there. They asked whether she knew where the suspect was, and she said that he had left. However, she granted police entry and allowed them to search the premises. They found the suspect hiding under a pile of clothes. An officer asked why he was hiding under the clothes, to which the suspect responded unintelligibly. The officer asked him whether he was banned from the premises, and he responded that he didn’t know what the officer was talking about. When asked for his personal information, the suspect then gave them a false date of birth. Officers asked the woman why she had lied to them about the suspect’s whereabouts, and she replied that she wanted the suspect to be able to see his children. She was warned about giving false information to the police. The suspect had been banned only two days prior for a criminal trespass charge. He was arrested for giving false information and criminal trespass.
• While working off duty as security, an officer saw a man exit a downtown club and open–hand slap another guy in the face. Officers immediately intervened, and attempted to place the slapper under arrest for disorderly conduct. Once the suspect was cuffed, his girlfriend approached the officers, who asked her to back away. She refused and was told by an officer that she could pick up her man from the Chatham County Detention Center. Due to the number of pedestrians, the officers wanted to move the suspect away from the area, but his girlfriend intervened. “Well, I will go to jail with my man. I guess you gone have to arrest me then. I’m not going anywhere without him,” she was reported to have told officers. The officers complied with her wishes and began to put her in handcuffs. Her boyfriend unleashed a string of epithets at the officer, including comments about his race and that he was a “hoe–ass.” He attempted to headbutt an officer and was slung to the ground. The man had a strong odor of alcohol emanating from him and appeared intoxicated. He was charged with disorderly conduct, obstruction by hindering and simple assault. It was not reported whether he and his girlfriend were taken to jail together.
