On 5/24/2025 I responded Code 1 non-emergency to the roadway in front of [500 BLOCK] Tanners Bridge Cir in reference to a Hit and Run.

Upon arrival I met with a [VICTIM #1] subject. He stated that a few minutes prior, he and his friend were sitting in his car waiting to walk to the party going on at a church just up the road. He stated while his car was parked off the shoulder of the roadway, a red SUV hit the headlight area of his vehicle, then drove away. He stated his vehicle, as well as the Red SUV sustained disabling damage from the accident, so he knew the Red SUV could not be far away. He then stated he was told by a witness on scene that the Red SUV was seen nearby at a local gas station, as well as he had been told that the Red SUV was sitting just up the road (On Tanners Bridge Cir somewhere.) He then showed me a video that one of those witnesses took of the Red SUV.

In the video, multiple younger females can be seen outside of a Red Ford Escape bearing GA license plate [REDACTED]. The vehicle in the video sustained disabling damage to the front passenger wheel well area. The females are walking around outside of the Escape, when one can be heard stating something to the effect of “We’ve got to get out of here.” The video was played in front of my body worn camera. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated while on scene that he and his passenger were not hurt. The car was left in an opening near the scene of an accident for him to come get with family the next day. Mr. [VICTIM #1] was given a case card and instructed how to obtain a copy of the report.

I then drove further up Tanners Bridge Circle, where I observed a Red Ford Escape bearing the same Georgia License plate as above. The vehicle also had damage consistent with the damage depicted in the video. I performed a GCIC/NCIC inquiry of the vehicle’s license plate, which returned to a [WITNESS #1] subject. Myself and another Deputy went to the house shown on the GCIC return, which was [200 BLOCK] Winslow Way. Once on scene, contact was made with Ms. [WITNESS #1]. She stated her daughter Chloe Liddle, was driving her car, but was supposed to be at a friend’s house. Ms. [WITNESS #1] provided me with the friend’s address and after negative contact there, I went back to the [200 BLOCK] Winslow Way address, where Chloe had just been dropped off minutes prior to our second arrival. Once back at the address, Chloe approached me in the driveway.

Prior to questioning Chloe, I advised her of her Miranda Rights. After stating she understood her rights and did still wish to speak to me, she stated that she did leave the roadway and strike the Silver Hyundai Elantra. She stated she then left the scene because she was afraid of what her parent’s reaction would be to the fact she was involved in an accident in an area she was not supposed to be in. I advised Chloe that while her parents would have been mad, she is obligated by law to stay on the scene of an accident. While speaking with Chloe, the odor of alcohol could be smelled coming from her breathe. When asked if she had been drinking, she stated she had been, however did not clarify if that had been while driving or while at the friend’s house after the accident occurred approximately three hours prior. Chloe was given a verbal warning for the underage consumption of alcohol. Chloe did not complain of any injury from the accident.

At that time, I placed Chloe into proper-fit, double locked handcuffs to the rear of her person and searched her incident to arrest. The search yielded negative results for contraband. I then placed her into the backseat of my patrol vehicle where she was transported to the Barrow County Detention Center and turned over to staff without incident. Chloe was placed under arrest and cited for OCGA 40-6-270 Hit and Run, as well as OCGA 40-6-48 Failure to Maintain Lane. Ms. [WITNESS #1] was provided with a copy of the case card, as well as instructed how to obtain a copy of the report.
