On July 20, 2025, at 2049 hours, I was dispatched to [200 BLOCK] James Albert Johnson Avenue, Winder, GA, 30680 in reference to a report of a Hit and Run. The caller was identified as Ms. [VICTIM #1]. Ms. [VICTIM #1] was involved in the hit-and-run incident. She advised 911 dispatch that a gray Dodge Ram with a Georgia License Plate, “[REDACTED],” struck her and left the scene. She advised that the truck was left westbound on James Albert Johnson Avenue. Ms. [VICTIM #1] advised that the male driver was intoxicated and provided 911 dispatch the last name “Mayweather”. I responded Code 3 (Emergency Lights and Sirens) to the area in hopes that I would locate the vehicle in the nearby area. I had negative contact with the vehicle as I approached James Albert Johnson Avenue. I conducted a GCIC/NCIC Inquiry on the vehicle, and the registration returned to [REDACTED], who lived at [1900 BLOCK] Diamond Ridge Drive. I looked up the resident history at this address and located a resident tab for Robert Lewis Mayweather II.

Once at the scene, I made contact with Ms. [VICTIM #1]. She advised that she was standing on the sidewalk near the provided residential address when she was struck by the gray pickup truck. She advised that the driver of Vehicle#1 was backing up along the sidewalk of James Albert Johnson Avenue, attempting to leave the area. As the vehicle was backing up, it backed up onto the actual sidewalk and knocked her down. I was advised that Ms. [VICTIM #1] and other bystanders approached the driver and told him that he had hit a person on the sidewalk. However, the driver claimed to the group that he didn’t hit anybody because no one was “in front” of his vehicle. The driver left the scene without providing information to the victim, nor did he report the incident to 911. Ms. [VICTIM #1] described the driver as a black male with a skinny body build and a low haircut. The driver was described as wearing a yellow shirt and pink shorts.

As I was preparing a business card for Ms. [VICTIM #1], I overheard bystanders talking about the driver of the vehicle. It was stated that Mr. Mayweather was the driver. As I made my way back over to Ms. [VICTIM #1], two individuals came over to talk to the victim. One subject claimed they had complained that Mr. Mayweather had been blocking a driveway of a home, which led him to move the vehicle to the location where the hit and run occurred. I was going to ask that person to confirm if Mr. Mayweather was driving, but due to the subject’s mannerisms and body language, I decided not to approach. However, as I turned around to walk away, another bystander, who will remain anonymous, confirmed to me that Robert Mayweather was my hit-and-run driver. Ms. [VICTIM #1] was provided with a business card containing our agency’s phone number and a case number to call to report additional information about the case and to receive information about the case. Ms. [VICTIM #1] also informed me that her purse was damaged as a result of the accident. She advised that the purse cost her $69.

I conducted a local search inquiry on the FLOCK Safety Camera system for a gray Dodge Ram. Based on the time I was dispatched to the call, I located a Dodge Ram 3500 heading eastbound on E. Broad Street at designated FLOCK Camera #11 – Hwy 82 St German Place East around 2059 hours. I conducted a global search inquiry on the license plate and received another alert at 1623 hours with the vehicle heading into Winder. The pickup truck was traveling northbound on Monroe Hwy at designated FLOCK Camera #07 – Hwy 11 and Marburg Creek North. Based on this location, the northbound route could be used to travel to the James Albert Johnson Avenue residence. Between 1623 hours and 2059 hours, the suspect’s vehicle did not alert on any other FLOCK Safety cameras.

I requested 911 dispatch to send out a BOLO alert to the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office and to have a deputy check the residence of [1900 BLOCK] Diamond Ridge Drive in Statham for the truck and my suspect. I was notified by a deputy that the Dodge Ram was there at the residence. Deputies were also able to locate Mr. Robert Mayweather inside the home. He was turned over to me upon their arrival back into Winder city limits. I took over custody of Mr. Mayweather. My arrestee was cuffed with his hands behind his back, and the handcuffs were double-locked and checked for proper fitment. Mr. Mayweather was searched by me for weapons, contraband, and any means of escape prior to escort. The search incident to arrest yielded negative results.

Mr. Mayweather was only wearing blue denim shorts with no shirt or shoes. Though he did have a skinny build and a low haircut, as described by the victim. Mr. Mayweather was placed in the back seat of my patrol vehicle #423 for transport. Mr. Mayweather was intoxicated, and an odor of alcohol was permeating from his person. However, I did not pursue charges for DUI. I informed Mr. Mayweather that he was being charged for a Hit and run incident. My arrestee identified himself as Mr. Robert Mayweather, but became argumentative, claiming that he was not driving and was at home. I advised him that he was identified as my suspect by others at the accident scene.

During transportation, Mr. Mayweather continued to argue that he was not my suspect/ Though he asked me what vehicle he was accused of driving, and I replied, “a pickup truck.” Mr. Mayweather asked if it was a “dually truck” (a truck with four rear wheels), and I advised him yes. He made the statement that he did not own or drive a dually truck but stated that his wife [REDACTED] did. He also asked about his phone, but I informed him that county deputies did not turn over any property to me and reasoned that his phone was left at the Diamond Ridge residence.

Upon our arrival at the Barrow County Detention Center, Robert Mayweather was turned over to the jail staff. The back seat of my patrol vehicle was searched for contraband prior to Mr. Mayweather’s entrance and exit of my patrol vehicle with negative results. My Watch Guard body camera was worn and activated. The onboard mobile camera from my patrol vehicle was activated during transportation. An Accident Report was completed and submitted to this case file.

I procured a warrant against Robert Lewis Mayweather II for the following:

1. Hit and Run # 2025-2222MW
