On 03/17/2025 around 1915 Hrs. I was sent out on an emergency call to McDonalds (1667 Atl Hwy) in reference to employees in a physical altercation, while in route the vehicle description fit a vehicle leaving the area in a high rate of speed. (Red Ford Mustang) on Hill Shop Rd north bound just passing the new subdivision under construction on Hill Shop.
I turned around activating my blue lights and siren catching up to the Mustang bearing tag number from Ohio [REDACTED] just as it was turning in at [3700 BLOCK] Wages Rd, as we made way around the right side of the residence in the grass it stopped near a tent in the back side of the property, then the driver exited the vehicle and was asked to get on the ground.
While in the process of detaining the driver Felix Gideon Stettner I asked what happened and he stated he got in a verbal argument with a co-worker [VICTIM #1] that escalated in [VICTIM #1] pushing him, Stettner then advised he punched [VICTIM #1] in his face in efforts of defending himself.
Stettner was placed in department issued handcuffs, I checked cuffs for fit, double locked them to maintain fit, searched and secured him in my patrol unit then we made our way back to McDonalds, at that time [VICTIM #1] was already in route to Gwinnett Medical with Barrow Co Med 4 with injuries to his nose and the back of his head.
After reviewing the surveillance video, it was said that it did not show [VICTIM #1] pushing Stettner but showed that Stettner grabbed [VICTIM #1] throwing him on the ground and may have kicked him or something of the sort.
The video is set to be copied from McDonalds and added to this report tomorrow.
It was at that time I relayed milage to dispatch and we started our journey to Barrow County Detention Center where Stettner was released to jail staff without incident.
Stettner is being charged with Battery.
