Tide detergent flung in face leads to busted TV when Macon women clash over ransacked car

A woman in southwest Macon alerted the police one afternoon early this month when, according to her, an ex-girlfriend of hers was “ransacking and destroying … items in her vehicle.”

Details of the July 2 episode were noted in a Bibb County sheriff’s write-up. The 30-year-old woman who reported the incident at an apartment complex on Bloomfield Drive said when she stepped outside to confront the alleged ransacker, identified as her ex-girlfriend, 27, threw “liquid Tide detergent on her face.”

The pair then started fighting, the report continued, and they ended up inside the older woman’s apartment, where the younger woman was said to have busted a TV. The sheriff’s deputy who handled the matter later noted in the report that “both parties agreed to work out the issue among themselves” and they were “advised to stay away from each other.”

Dispatches: A man wearing a white shirt and blue jeans reportedly dropped his jeans on the afternoon of July 4, “exposing and fondling his genitals” in a pavilion at Rosa Jackson Recreation Center. A sheriff’s deputy who answered the call noted that he encountered the 31-year-old suspect while the man was lying on the bench of a picnic table at the Maynard Street park. The man was jailed on an indecent-exposure charge. . . . Shortly before midnight on June 29, a man described as drunk and “large” at a Waffle House on Hartley Bridge Road was reportedly being rude to the staff. A female patron informed a sheriff’s deputy that her son had told the rude fellow he was “being disrespectful.” It was then, as the deputy’s report went on to say, that the suspect walked outside and poured chocolate milk on the woman’s car.
