On Friday, April 18, 2025, at approximately 0258 hours, I Ofc. Perry #149 was dispatched to a Suspicious Person call at Martin Luther King Jr Drive and East Wright Street, Winder, Ga 30680. I traveled to the location listed above, CODE 1, in my marked patrol vehicle #396.
While en route, Barrow County Central Dispatch advised me that the suspect was approximately 6 feet tall, wearing dark clothing, a brown jacket, and carrying a large stick. The suspect was walking up to people’s car doors and attempting to open them while they were stopped at the stop sign. Due to the nature of the call, I knew the subject would be Mr. Aaron McCoy. There have been multiple calls about Aaron attempting to open car doors in this area while drivers are stopped at the stop sign, and Aaron has always been carrying a large walking stick.
Ofc. Waters #159 had made contact with the subject when I arrived, and it was confirmed that Aaron was the subject. This is the second call I have personally taken for Aaron attempting to open car doors, and he was already warned about Disorderly Conduct and Panhandling. Aaron was not found guilty of Panhandling at this time, but I found his attempt to open people’s car doors while they were stopped at a stop sign to be disorderly.
I told Aaron to turn around and place his hands behind his back, and he complied. Aaron was placed in properly fitted double-locked handcuffs. I advised Aaron that he would be placed under arrest for Disorderly Conduct. I then searched Aaron’s person for any drugs, weapons, or means of escape, and none were found. I then escorted Aaron to the backseat of my patrol vehicle and placed a lap and shoulder belt across his person. Aaron was then escorted to 652 Barrow Park Drive Winder Ga 30680 (Barrow County Detention Center).
Aaron’s custody and belongings were relinquished to the Barrow County Intake Deputies upon arrival. I completed all intake forms and issued Aaron with Citation WC58821 Disorderly Conduct. This citation was left with Aaron’s belongings at the jail. I then went back into service with no further issues.
The backseat of my patrol vehicle was cleared before and after Aaron was placed inside and taken out.
Citation WC58821-Disorderly Conduct was issued during this investigation.
