The following is information compiled from public records of the Milledgeville Police Department and the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. It is our policy to not disclose the names of victims. These reports do not reflect guilt or innocence. An “arrest” does not always indicate incarceration. The charges filed are noted in the narrative. 

Milledgeville Police Department

Criminal Trespass

An officer was dispatched on Dec. 13 to a residence on Jackson Street. He spoke with a woman who said that her adult son left around 3 a.m. that morning and she told him “that he wasn’t going to be running the streets and bringing that COVID-19 back in her house” so she locked the door and went to her sister’s house. She said when she returned to her home, the front door had been kicked in and a window was broken. She suspects that her son did the damage, although there were no witnesses or evidence to support her claim. 

Entering Auto

An officer was dispatched to an apartment located in the 600 block of North Columbia Street on Dec. 13. A woman stated that someone had broken into her Toyota RAV-4 but nothing had been taken from the vehicle. 

Aggravated Assault

An officer was dispatched to a motel in the 2600 block of North Columbia Street in reference to a subject with a weapon. The officer spoke with the victims, one of whom stated that she looked out of the motel window and saw a man pressing his face against the window. She said the man reached in his waistline and pulled out a black gun and pointed at the door. The witnesses said they hid in the bathroom. The woman said she waited another 20 minutes before calling the front desk and asking for law enforcement to be called.
