Winder man lights himself on fire during domestic dispute
The Winder Police Department (WPD) received reports
of a male subject engulfed in flames during a domestic
dispute at a Winder residence on Friday, Oct. 20.
Upon arriving on the scene, the male subject appeared
near a pickup truck and was detained by police for ques
tioning. The suspect had severe burns on his head and
neck and multiple cuts on his abdomen. Due to the se
verity of his injuries, he was quickly transported to the
hospital for examination.
Following the hospital, a deputy returned to the resi
dence to speak with the victim, the suspect’s girlfriend,
who also had visible injuries, including bloodshot eyes,
a busted lip and red marks on her neck, according to the
police report.
The victim said when she returned home from work
earlier that evening, she found the suspect intoxicated
and acting aggressively towards her. When she went to
her bedroom and locked the door, he forcibly entered the
room and began accusing her of infidelity. The accusa
tions led to a physical altercation during which the vic
tim reported the suspect choked her, gouged her eyes and
pulled her hair. She added that he wouldn’t allow her to
leave the house or make a phone call.
She told police the suspect then told her he was going
outside to “make a noose on a tree.”
While outside, the suspect located a bottle of lighter
fluid and went to the garage, doused himself with it and
then lit himself on fire.
After extinguishing the fire with a rug, the victim said
she walked to her vehicle, locked herself in and called
911.
According to the victim, the suspect also grabbed a
knife and cut his stomach and put cigarettes out on his
chest during the altercation.
The suspect was medically cleared from the hospital
and placed under arrest. Warrants were filed against him
for aggravated assault (Family Violence), battery (Fam
ily Violence), simple assault (Family Violence), simple
battery (Family Violence), sexual battery, false imprison
ment, criminal trespass and obstructing or hindering per
sons making emergency calls.

Winder PD:
SUSPICIOUS ABANDONED VEHICLE FOUND
DEEP IN THE WOODS
A vehicle was found in the woods off Township Lane in
Yargo Township on Oct. 18 by a hunter.
The vehicle was located about 300 feet from a dirt trail,
and was surrounded by trees.
According to Winder Police Department, there was no
clear path that revealed how the vehicle would have trav
eled to the location where it was parked.
City employees had to clear trees in order to get the ve
hicle out of the woods and onto a tow truck. The vehicle,
a blue Hyundai Tucson with Georgia tag #BFU7472, was
found with the keys in the ignition with minimal damage
and in functioning order. A city employee used a jumper
box to start the vehicle and was able to drive it out to get
on the tow truck.Police confirmed the vehicle was report
ed stolen out of Gwinnett County.
UNKNOWN MAN SHOPLIFTS TV
FROM WINDER STORE
An unknown suspect dressed in a jacket and winter
hat went into a Winder store, grabbed a television and
walked out the front door with it. The suspect went to
wards a gray/silver Dodge Avenger and began to stuff
the television I the passenger door. When store personnel
ran outside after the suspect, he jumped in the passen
ger seat the vehicle and drove away with the door open
and the television hanging out of it. Police were unable
to obtain a tag number from video footage of the inci
dent as the vehicle had a shirt covering the license plate.
The television cost approximately S325. Warrants have
not been taken due to lack of evidence to prove who the
shoplifter was and who helped him escape in the vehicle.
