They gave a cousin just out of prison a place to stay. Then their stuff disappeared.
A Bibb County sheriff’s deputy was sent to check on a reported theft at a house on Gledhill Street on the northwest side of Macon’s Unionville neighborhood the evening of Dec. 13. The man and woman who live there said they had for the past week or so let a cousin with multiple shoplifting convictions sleep on their couch.
The cousin had been released from prison in late November. The couple gave the cousin a key to come and go as he wished, a sheriff’s report said.
Sometime during the night on Dec. 12, while the couple was asleep, the cousin left. Also gone were a PlayStation4 console, some wedding rings and $50 in loose change. The man who lives at the house called the cousin and asked why the cousin had taken his stuff, the sheriff’s report said.
The cousin denied taking anything but agreed to return the couple’s key. According to the sheriff’s report, when the cousin dropped off the key, the woman who lives there was home. She took the key and for a moment left the room. The cousin “took that opportunity,” the report said, “and grabbed her makeup tote from the coffee table which contained her wallet” and bank cards and took off in a pickup truck.
Dispatches: A Macon woman told the cops in mid-December that a home-care nurse threatened to “beat her ass” after the woman asked the nurse to massage her ailing mother-in-law’s legs.
The nurse, according to a sheriff’s report, said she would do the massaging later and became “hostile” and said “she knew how to do her job.” The nurse left, the report went on, but not before “kicking the back” of someone’s car. . . .
In early December, a sheriff’s report said that someone at an apartment complex on Fausett Drive in west Macon “wrote nasty words on about four mailboxes.” . . .
A Macon man in his mid-40s was jailed on a disorderly conduct charge Dec. 27 for allegedly “yelling and jumping about” at a downtown Waffle House. A sheriff’s report said a woman the guy had been dating said he was mad “because she was walking with another man.”
