Incidents
    CLIPONREKA ROAD — (Clito) A woman and her juvenile daughter told deputies another juvenile said he would shoot the juvenile daughter. The girl told deputies he was smiling when he said it and admitted he was joking, but it scared her younger sister. The Statesboro Police Department is investigating because it occurred at church in the city’s jurisdiction, and the original complaint came from another juvenile girl in the city. After city detectives had the alleged offender write a statement and photographed a gun in the back seat of his truck, they advised him not to go to school until the investigation was completed. The girl deputies spoke with said the complainant who filed the original complaint in the city “liked” the alleged offender, who didn’t “like” her back, and she has often made up untruths about him in the past.

A third witness said her juvenile child claimed the couple threatened to release their pit bull on him.

Adults in the home as well as parents of the children involved each claimed the others threatened them, including threats to run over and kill each other. All parties were informed of magistrate procedures.
