It was going on midnight on a recent Friday when a Bibb County sheriff’s deputy answered a call about a suspicious person. A woman had reported that there was someone at her door who was trying to get in. It was there at some apartments on Chambers Cove Drive in west Macon that the deputy soon spotted a fellow with whom he was familiar from past encounters there. The man, 36, was lying facedown on some steps leading to an apartment. His feet and legs, according to the deputy’s write-up, were above the rest of his body on the steps. “He, as before, was clearly intoxicated,” the report noted. “His pants were down to his thighs, and his undergarments, soiled.” The man’s wife, who said the pair had been separated for about two years, asked the deputy to ask the fellow to leave, which the deputy did — several times. “He eventually walked around the corner out of our sight,” the deputy’s report of the Nov. 1 episode said. “I stayed inside the complex, assured that he would probably return.” Within a few minutes, the man was back, looking up at the wife’s apartment and, as the deputy noted, saying “something to her that I could not make out.” The deputy then decided to arrest the man on charges of disorderly conduct, but while patting the man down the deputy found what was described as “a small bag with a white powdery substance inside.” The man was jailed on a cocaine-possession charge.
Dispatches: “Heated words” were exchanged between a clerk and customer at an east Macon Chevron mart when the customer popped open a beer, began drinking it and, as a sheriff’s report put it, “rudely threw his credit card” at the clerk. “He then slung some of the beer” on the clerk, the report of the Oct. 5 incident on Ocmulgee East Boulevard said. The man, 60, who was said to be “in an inebriated state,” was jailed on a disorderly conduct charge. . . . Someone reportedly broke into the Jesus Mission of Love church on Pio Nono Avenue in mid-October and stole some chicken patties from the kitchen. . . . A woman on Log Cabin Drive in west Macon reported that someone broke into her apartment in late September and stole her 55-inch television. A sheriff’s report said she “knew” the culprit was her former boyfriend because “she found a beer can of the same brand that he normally drinks in her home.”
