Forsyth woman
reports 20-year-
old threatening
her on Facebook
At about 10:47 a.m.
on June 17, Dep.
Caleb Dunn met with
a Forsyth woman who
said she took her fam
ily to Tybee Island for
vacation on May 13 and
took along a 20-year-old
woman with them. The
woman said the other
woman drank a half bot
tle of whiskey without
the woman’s consent on
the first day of vacation.
The woman said the
other woman became
intoxicated, which
caused her to become
angry and aggressive
and start a fight with
the woman. The woman
said she defended her
self and called the Tybee
Island Police, who cited
the other woman for
underage possession
of alcohol and took her
to the hospital. The
woman said the other
woman’s parents came
to Tybee Island the
same day and picked
her up and took her
home. The woman said
after the other woman
left, she began receiving
Facebook threats from
the other woman and
her friends. She said the

“Give a crackhead $10
to kill her”, and “She’ll
get what’s coming to
her before long”, which
implied they were going
to gang up and harm the
woman. The woman told
Dunn she had saved all
of the Facebook posts on
her cell phone.
Teens charged
with making
threats toward
law enforcement
A 17-year-old black
Smarr man and his
15-year-old brother
were each charged
with making terroristic
threats after a dispute
at a Collins Ridge Drive
home on June 17. At
about 12:32 a.m., Dep.
Kianda Pritchett went
to a Collins Ridge Drive
home where dispatchers
said a 15-year-old boy
was trying to hot wire
a vehicle belonging to
the male resident, who
was the boy’s grand
father. Dispatchers
also informed Pritchett
that a fight was taking
place and the boy and
his 17-year-old brother
were possibly armed
with a large piece of
wood. Dispatchers said
the 15-year-old had hit
his grandfather with
the wood while trying
to take his vehicle and
leave the scene. When
Pritchett and Cpl.
Kevin Powell arrived
at the scene, they saw
the 15-year-old wear
ing a black t-shirt. They
ordered the 15-year-
old to lie down on the
ground. The 17-year-old
then approached from
the rear of the home and
identified himself. The
17-year-old then became
upset when he saw the
15-year-old lying on the
ground and began shout
ing, “F— the police”
and “I will kill y’all.” He
added, “Y’all are arrest
ing my brother so y’all
are going to have to
take me too.” Pritchett
tried to calm down the
17-year-old, but he
continued to be irate.
Pritchett and Powell
then searched the
15-year-old and found
in his pocket a package
that contained suspected
cocaine. When Pritchett
then handcuffed the
15-year-old, the 17-year-
old got even angrier.
Two younger children,
a 12-year-old and a
14-year-old, at the scene
then began to follow
the lead of the 17-year-
old and began yelling,
“Sout-hside Macon” and
“F— the police.” The
17-year-old then refused
to calm down and
made further threats
to kill law enforcement.
Pritchett then arrested
the 17-year-old as well.
The boys’ grandfather
said the two became
upset when he asked
them to leave his home.
He said the 15-year-old
made comments such
as: “You’re lucky that
you’re my granddad”
and “I will beat your
a-- if you call the police,
and I’ll fight them when
they get here too.” The
grandfather said the two
boys then went outside
onto the porch but still
did not leave. He said
when he again told them
to leave, the 15-year-old
hit him across the face
and tried to get into his
vehicle. The 15-year-old
was also charged with
battery (family vio
lence) and Violation of
the Georgia Controlled
Substance Act. The
15-year-old was placed
into custody at the
Macon Youth Detention
Center while the
17-year-old was taken to
the Monroe County Jail.
Teen fishermen
feud with golfer
over fishing rules
at River Forest
At about 1:12 p.m. on
June 16, Cpl. Daniel
Ahlstrom went to a
Freedom Drive home
where a female resident
said her 17-year-old son
told her he had been
assaulted by a man on
the River Forest golf
course. The son told
Ahlstrom he was fishing
on the course, which he
knew was against the
rules, when the man
told him to leave. The
son said he was pack
ing up his stuff when
two other men drove by
and asked him if he had
caught any fish. The son
said he answered that
he hadn’t because “that
a-hole” told him he had
to leave. The son said
the man then pushed
him and retrieved a golf
club from his cart and
acted as if he was going
to hit him. Another
17-year-old man who
was with the son told
Ahlstrom a similar
story. Ahlstrom then
met with the man at his
River Overlook home.
The man said he was
playing golf when he
saw the two teens fish
ing from the bridge. He
said he told them they
were not supposed to be
out there and needed to
leave. The man said he
made a putt and then
heard the son call him
something. The man
said the son got into his
face, and he admitted to
pushing the son away.
Ahlstrom then met with
the two male witnesses
who said a verbal con
frontation had occurred
between the man and
two teens. They said the
son called the man a
name and used profan
ity. However, the wit
nesses said they never
saw the man touch
either of the teens nor
did he have a club in his
hand while he was near
them.

her friends to Burger
King before taking them
to work. The driver
denied drinking any
alcohol and said she had
last taken prescription
medication two days
earlier. Fitzgerald saw
the driver swaying and
having difficulty stand
ing still, so he asked
her to take several field
sobriety tests, which
she failed. The driver
then admitted to hav
ing taken Meloxicam
and Risperdal medica
tions the previous night.
While Fitzgerald con
tinued speaking with
the driver, she leaned
up against her car and
her eyes began to close.
