INCIDENTS

BERNARD SMITH ROAD – Complainant said she believes her stepfather is having her followed and documenting her comings and goings. She said she believes her family wants her to return home. Complainant said she thought she was on good terms with her stepfather and asked him for help with an assignment. She said he has filed a report with her university’s academic division saying she is cheating in her classwork. She showed screen shots of harassing messages and social media posts. The stepfather was contacted by phone and served a criminal trespass warning. Complainant was advised of procedures to obtain a protective order.

G.W. OLIVER ROAD – Complainant said he is the supervisor for a postal carrier. He said over the weekend the carrier was delivering his route when he swerved to avoid a four-wheeler carrying several juveniles. He ended up in a ditch, damaging his vehicle. The complainant said no report was filed at the time because mail and packages needed to be delivered in another vehicle that was sent out. He is requesting a report now as the U.S. Postal Service needs it for insurance purposes.

LIVE OAK LANE – Complainant said he sent his father, who lives in Bulloch County, a text message showing him a photo of an RV he will be driving back to Statesboro. Complainant said his father sent him a reply text stating “he was going to cut his throat and shoot him in the head with a 38-caliber handgun.” Complainant said he would be coming back to his Bulloch residence in a few weeks and he wanted the incident documented.  

WREN LANE – Complainant said his vehicle was struck earlier in the day by an unknown offender. Complainant requested a report and the Magistrate Court process was explained to him.
