[NARRATIVE #2 on October 30, 2023]

On October 30th, 2023, at approximately 0201 hours, I responded to [200 BLOCK] Tate Terr to assist Officer Schneider with a possible domestic problem.

While responding to the incident location, Officer Schneider advised me that the possible offender, Victor Ochoa was driving a white in color Ford Bronco heading northbound on North Jefferson Street. A Flock Safety search was conducted and a vehicle matching the above description hit westbound at Dunlap Road and Reeves Circle (GA plate: [REDACTED]). Milledgeville PD Dispatch then ran the above license plate in which the registered owner came back to the offender.

Further into the investigation, Officer Schneider then informed me that Ochoa was at Walter B. Williams, Georgia Highway 22. Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Benjamin Johnson and I was able to locate Ochoa parked. Deputy Johnson and I deployed our department-issued service pistols where Deputy Johnson gave verbal commands. I then placed Ochoa under arrest in my handcuffs and escorted him to the rear of my patrol vehicle.

As I was performing a search incident to arrest, I noticed Ochoa had dried blood on both of his hands. I then read Ochoa his Miranda warning in which he agreed to speak. When asked, Ochoa stated he went over to his girlfriend residence (incident location) to get away from his mother. Ochoa stated his mother then came over to his girlfriend’s house and she was intoxicated. Ochoa stated he wanted to get away from his mother because she was upset but couldn’t state why. When asked, Ochoa stated he broke a flower pot at his girlfriend’s house.

He was transported to the Baldwin County LEC without further incident and charged with aggravated assault (FV) and criminal damage to property 2nd (FV).

The case was turned over to Officer Schneider.
