Georgia man tells judge he suspected wife’s infidelity when she cooked pig tails

A Macon man in divorce court the other day told a Bibb County judge he was certain that his wife was running around on him. One example of supposed proof of this alleged unfaithfulness, which the man served up in open court before Judge Philip T. Raymond III, included mention of the wife’s culinary talents. The husband and wife, both in their 50s, have been married for nearly two decades. It seems the wife, according to the husband, at some point of late prepared a pot of pig tails, at which point another man swung by and picked them up. A courthouse insider told The Cop Shop that the husband couldn’t believe the suspected pork-seeking interloper had the gall to drop in at his domicile and accept such morsels. “Any woman,” the husband reportedly said, “that will cook a man a mess of pig tails is doing more than cooking for him.”

An argument at a house on Comer Terrace near Freedom Park in Macon the morning of Oct. 25 involved a man toting a hammer. The man, 28, was on the front porch “yelling loudly and cursing,” a Bibb sheriff’s report noted. The report said the man’s girlfriend, who lived there, had “allowed him to stay the night, but when she asked him to leave … he began to scream, yell and refused to leave.” The man was said to have repeatedly cussed and interrupted and interfered with deputies trying to resolve the matter. When a sheriff’s deputy “gave him one last verbal warning to calm down or leave,” the report said the man replied, “I don’t have to do a (expletive) thing, dawg. … I got freedom of speech.” He was jailed for disorderly conduct.

Dispatches: Just before 3 a.m. on a recent Sunday, a Bibb sheriff’s deputy on patrol in downtown Macon was flagged down in front of the Crazy Bull, a nightclub on Second Street. A sheriff’s report said a “combative” man there was being held down by security men from the club, and that the man being held was shouting for the security guys to let him up so he could “whoop their asses.” The man, a 21-year-old from Roberta, was said to have hit another man and busted his lip. The Roberta man was jailed, charged with simple battery. He was, according to a sheriff’s write-up, “very intoxicated” and several times on the ride to jail he reportedly boasted of having “whooped that guy’s ass.” . . . A suspected shoplifter took off from the Dollar Tree store on Eisenhower Parkway with $2 worth of merchandise in tow. A Bibb sheriff’s deputy chased down the alleged pilferer, a 24-year-old Macon man, and arrested him and retrieved his loot: two pies of an unspecified variety.
