Braselton Police Department Incidents
Man pulls gun in dog-walking dispute
A man recently pointed
a gun at someone’s head in
Braselton following a dispute
about dog walking.
Officers with the Braselton
Police Department were
called to a Vespar Oak Drive
residence on reports of disor
derly conduct and discharging
a gun or pistol near a pub
lic road. A man claimed his
neighbor had pulled a gun
and put it to his head because
he didn’t have his dogs on a
leash.
While walking his dogs,
the man said someone shout
ed out of a vehicle, “Get
your dogs out of the f**king
street.” The man recognized
one of his neighbors and got
in his vehicle to follow them.
He got out and followed
them up the driveway ask
ing what the problem was.
Another man then report
edly walked to his vehicle,
grabbed a pistol and held it to
his head.
“What are you going to
do now?” the man reportedly
asked. “You’re not so f**king
big now, are you?”
The complainant said he
started to reason with the man
and thought he might shoot
him. The man then pointed
the gun in the air and dis
charged the firearm.
The complainant said he
walked back to his track and
the man followed him.
“Get the f**k out of here,”
the man reportedly said while
pointing the gun in the driv
er’s side window.
The complainant left the
scene and drove around so
the offender wouldn’t know
where he lived.
Officers spoke with the
neighbor, who gave a similar
story. But he insisted he had
just met the offender.
KNIFE PULLED
OYER VAPE PEN
A juvenile recently pulled a
knife on another juvenile over
a vape pen. Officers respond
ed to the Summerall Circle
residence on reports of simple
battery and terroristic acts.
A suspect reportedly
flagged down the complainant
and pulled a knife on him,
saying he would stab him if
he didn’t buy a vape pen from
him. The suspect flagged the
complainant down later in the
day and reportedly head-butt
ed him to try to get the vape
pen back.
The suspect first denied
everything, except the head-
but. But he later admitted he
opened the knife and pointed
it at the complainant, threaten
ing to “stick him” because he
owed him money.
The offender was ordered to
go to juvenile court.

The BPD recovered a stolen
vehicle last week in Jackson
County. The 2006 Cadillac
CTS was previously stolen out
of Braselton and later found at
a New Liberty Church Road

found a stolen (loaded) gun,
