On March 2, 2025, at approximately 0805 hours, Winder Police Units were dispatched to a suspicious person at [100 BLOCK] Lays Dr. Winder, GA, 30680. Dispatch advised that the suspect had entered the city limits from this address. Dispatch advised it was a white male wearing no shirt and blue jeans who was carrying a small shovel. I responded CODE 1 (no lights and sirens) to the area to help locate the subject.
At approximately 0830 hours, dispatch advised that a second caller had called and stated that a male was walking in the trees behind the Wimberly Manor Apartments ([100 BLOCK] E Wright St. Winder GA, 30680) that matched the male from Lays Dr.
At approximately 0831 hours, Cpl. Cureington advised me to check the area of James Albert Johnson Ave. and around the Wimberly Center for a suspicious white male wearing no shirt and blue jeans who was carrying a small shovel. I spotted the male matching the description, later identified as Bobby Pendley, walking across Martin Luther King Junior Dr. to E Kimball St. in the middle of the road. When Mr. Pendley spotted me, he took off running in the backyard of [100 BLOCK] Martin Luther King Junior Dr. Mr. Pendley still had the small shovel in his left hand. Mr. Pendley was later apprehended and transported to the Barrow County Detention Center by Cpl. Cureington and Officer Gibbs.
