ASSAULT
■ 5500 block of Roswell Road 30342 - On
Nov. 4 a woman reported that she was as
saulted by a friend named Kenneth. She was
visiting a friend at his apartment when Ken
neth arrived home from jail. He was mad at
her over something having to do with his trip
to jail. He pushed her and threatened to hit
her with a liquor bottle. Kenneth denied this
story, saying the victim got into his face, and
as far as the liquor bottle was concerned, he
didn’t pick it up and threaten her with it but
instead, caught it as it had been pushed over
and was going to break. The story however
didn’t hold much water, and Kenneth revis
ited jail a short time later. The victim’s sto
ry was more believable because she did have
red marks on her indicating she had been hit,
and secondly, she had a witness in the form
of the person she was visiting when Kenneth
arrived home from jail.

rect. He logged onto his account with GA
