From a Macon Waffle House twerker to a bulldozer kiss, here are the weirdest cop reports of 2019
Here at the Cop Shop, the Telegraph’s weekly compendium of Middle Georgia police report oddities and curiosities, we ran across our share of curious occurrences in 2019.
Today we serve up our ranking of the year’s five zaniest incidents from area police reports:
5. A woman said to have been “exposing her butt” and cussing caused a stir in downtown Macon in early February. A security guard at the Dempsey apartments on Cherry Street said the woman had been harassing people. A sheriff’s deputy’s report of the Feb. 3 incident noted that the woman, 28, was later seen nearby “at the tables outside of the Rookery. … (Her) pants and underwear were past her rear and she was exposing her butt. I told her that she needs to leave this area and stop bothering people.”
4. A suspect in a shoplifting spree at the Mulberry Street Arts & Crafts Festival who was nabbed in late March reportedly told the cops that she stole more than $900 at the fair “because it gave her relief from mental pain that she experiences.” The woman, 44, from Warner Robins, was accused of stealing from nine vendors. Her alleged loot included necklaces, bracelets, rings, leather goods, a T-shirt and a dog leash.
3. A Macon man’s girlfriend called the cops on him in mid-August after she said he took her cellphone when she wouldn’t cook him breakfast. The girlfriend, 61, told a Bibb sheriff’s deputy that her boyfriend, 58, also took her house keys and rode away on a bicycle.
2. A Putnam County man nearly rammed his home with mini bulldozer after his wife wife reportedly locked him out for not kissing her. The episode, noted in a Putnam sheriff’s report in early March, was said to involve “an intoxicated male subject” who was trying to “gain entry into the residence using a Bobcat front loader.” According to the report, the wife asked her husband for a kiss, but instead of kissing her, he got dressed and walked out. The wife locked the door behind him, but then he tried to get in the house, the report said, adding that he “got the Bobcat front loader in the front yard and attempted to ram it into the front door.”
1. A woman, for no apparent reason, reportedly went into a north Macon Waffle House on Sept. 4 and threatened employees and patrons before grabbing a bottle of mustard and squirting it all over the parking lot. She then, according to a sheriff’s report, briefly exposed her breasts as she “began dancing and singing in a mocking manner.” As she walked to her car before being arrested, she started “moving in a motion commonly known as ‘twerking’ at deputies.” The report said she then went to another Waffle House and threatened to knock peoples’ teeth out, later telling a deputy she’d slit his throat “and drink the blood.”
