On 09/30/24 while working The Roxy located at 800 Battery Avenue I was called by security to assist with a disorderly patron.

The Roxy security advised that there was a female, Hannah Smith, who was being disorderly by yelling and screaming and they wanted me to standby while they escorted her out of the Roxy and to the Orange Deck. Accompanying us was Emergency Medical Staff (EMS) due to the patron being intoxicated. While walking in the Orange Deck out of the first floor Smith punched the EMS staff member making contact on her right arm. The staff worker advised she did not want to press charges. At this point, while we were outside of the Orange Deck, I advised Smith and her friends they would need to leave the premise. Smith, who was still yelling, cursing, and dropping items out of her purse, began to walk toward me and attempted to punch me. However, before she made contact I grabbed her arm and put her on the ground and placed her under arrest. Smith, while on the ground sitting, attempted to kick me multiple times but again did not make contact. Once other officers arrived on scene we searched Smith, incident to arrest, and placed her in the back of my vehicle.

While transporting Smith to Cobb ADC she stated “I am going to kill you and your sister”. Smith then proceeded to talk as if she was on a podcast (she made multiple statements about a podcast and her fans) or speaking to someone on her phone. When we arrived to the jail Smith refused to exit the vehicle until the person in my passenger seat was also taken out of the vehicle and placed under arrest. I advised to her that no one was in the front seat of the vehicle,, however Smith still refused to exit the vehicle. I then got another officer from inside the jail to the sally port to assist me with taking Smith out of the vehicle. She eventually exited the vehicle without issue. Smith was then placed into the custody of Cobb ADC, and I obtained warrant 24-W-9258 for Obstruction and Terroristic Threats.
