COP SHOP: Macon man struck with pole in argument over his mother’s car keys, cops say
The emergency call went out as “someone struck in the head with a pole.” A Bibb County sheriff’s deputy who answered the call on the afternoon of March 9 found the victim, a 24-year-old man, at a house on Baker Street in south Macon. The deputy learned that the man, as the emergency call said, had been hit with a pole. The victim was bleeding and holding his head. He said he had been arguing with another guy, 27, on a dead-end street nearby, just east of Pio Nono Avenue below Newburg Avenue. The victim, according to the deputy’s write-up, “stated that they had an argument over the keys to his mother’s house last night, and that the argument led to violence today.” The report didn’t mention what kind of pole the wounded man was struck with. Cops searched for the suspect but it wasn’t clear whether they found him.
Dispatches: On the afternoon of March 5, an employee at Gem Cleaners on Ingleside Avenue in Macon told the cops that she was in the front of the shop when she heard “a loud noise.” She said that at first she thought it was coming from another business nearby “because they often make loud noises,” a sheriff’s report of the episode said. The employee heard the sound again and went to the back of the shop to see what it was. It turned out to be two “young males,” the report said, and when they saw her they yelled, “Oh, s---!” and took off running. The sound she heard appeared to have been banging on a back door, which had been kicked in. . . . In mid-January, a south Macon who lives off Bloomfield Road called the cops to report that a woman he knows had scratched and dented his wife’s Nissan Altima. It wasn’t clear what may have prompted the outburst. The man said the cops had already told the woman, 53, to stay away. The man, according to a sheriff’s report, said he spoke to the suspect by phone and that she admitted causing the damage. She also told him, the report added, “that she would cut the top of his convertible if it was” there. The man said the woman claimed she would pay for repairs when she “gets her tax money.”
