Cussing woman flips off motel clerk and calls her a ‘crackhead,’ Macon cops say

A Bibb County sheriff’s deputy answered a March 2 call about a woman refusing to leave the Baymont Inn & Suites on Riverside Drive near Tom Hill Sr. Boulevard in north Macon. Earlier, the woman refusing to leave had, according to a front desk clerk, argued with the clerk about a required $20 cash deposit and an early check-in fee. The woman, 33, didn’t have the money to pay and “got upset,” an incident report noted, “and began calling (the clerk) a crackhead a-- b----. (She) stated that she had her Wyndham reward points and that she didn’t have to pay for the room.” The woman continued to use profanity and then left, but returned hours later about 6 a.m. to try and get a room again, the report said. That’s when the sheriff’s deputy was summoned. The deputy told the woman to leave, but she refused, claiming that she reserved a room. The deputy informed the woman that the clerk had the right to turn her away. She “then began to get upset,” the report said. “(She) picked up her bag … and then shot a bird at (the clerk).” The deputy told the woman not to make such gestures and to leave. As the woman was walking out, the report went on, she stopped, looked at the clerk “and stated you’re still going to be a fat b----.” The woman was then handcuffed and taken to jail on a disorderly conduct charge, but not before mentioning that “she was an Army veteran and that she did not deserve to be locked up.”

Dispatches: A manager at the Gardens Apartments on Cavalier Drive in west Macon called the cops March 3 to report, as a sheriff’s report noted, that someone had illegally dumped some “bedbug-infested” mattresses in a dumpster and that the dumpster company refused to haul them off. “Several witnesses” were said to have seen a woman who lives there drive up in a white van and dump the mattresses. The manager told the cops that she later asked the woman to remove them but that the woman refused. . . . A man asleep on a sidewalk along Spring Street near Krystal in downtown Macon was roused from his slumber by a sheriff’s deputy March 2. The man, 49, smelled of alcohol and agreed to let the deputy take him to a nearby shelter but when they got there the man was deemed “too drunk” to be taken in. The Salvation Army also turned him away. It was there, on the south side of downtown, that the man, according to the deputy’s write-up, began “urinating in the street in full view of the motoring public.” The man was jailed on a charge of public drunkenness.
