On December 15, 2025, at approximately 1831 hours, I, Officer Foster 513, was dispatched to the listed location in reference to a 911 hang up. I responded routine with the flow of traffic. Upon arrival, I met with the caller, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and he advised that his ex-wife, later identified as Melynda Mcinnis, was “acting crazy” again. He stated that she had assaulted him in the midst of an argument and had it on video.

I went and spoke with Melynda and she advised that she was the one that was abused earlier this morning by the man outside whom she claimed not to know. She then kept repeating that she wanted her lawyer because she did not like me nor did she want to talk to me. I then went back outside the residence to speak with [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. He showed the video of her smacking him and hitting the phone out of his hand, causing damage to the phone. He stated that he is tired of this constantly happening and that he was unsure of his safety around her.

I then went inside the residence to arrest Melynda. I advised her that she was under arrest and she began to resist commands and she began to resist while I attempted to place her in handcuffs. She was placed at taser point for a brief second before I holstered it back up and went to her to put her in handcuffs. There was a brief struggle, but she was placed in handcuffs to the rear which were double locked and checked for proper fit. I then escorted her to Officer Hambrick’s patrol car.

In the midst of speaking to her in the back of the patrol car, she began to threaten myself and my family while kicking me in the knee. She landed a kick while screaming “death be upon you” and “suck a f*cking di*k, n***er” while neighbors were outside. I advised her of all charges listed above and Ofc. Hambrick transported her to the Barrow County Detention Center.

I then returned to service without incident.
