On July 27, 2025, at approximately 0856 hours, I was dispatched to a domestic disturbance in progress involving Boyd Jenkins and [VICTIM #1]. While en route, Bartow County Dispatch advised myself and Deputy Madison Franklin (#933) that Boyd stated [VICTIM #1] had broken his arm and that he was unable to use it.

A few minutes later, Dispatch provided an update, advising that Boyd had told both Dispatch and [VICTIM #1], “I’m going in his room right now. He is going to jail. I’m going to blow his fu*king brains out.”

Upon my arrival, I observed Boyd at [VICTIM #1]’s bedroom door, yelling at him. I instructed Boyd to come into the living room so I could speak with him. Boyd complied and used both arms to roll his wheelchair into the living room.

I asked Boyd what had occurred. Boyd stated that [VICTIM #1] would not help him with his phone. When I inquired about his injured arm and how he was able to call 911 if the phone wasn’t working, Boyd admitted he could still use both arms but was upset that [VICTIM #1] refused to assist him while he was actively calling 911.

Metro EMS arrived shortly thereafter. The attending EMT advised me that this was the third time they had encountered Boyd in the past two days. The EMT also stated Boyd had been evaluated at the hospital the night prior and cleared for the same arm injury he was now claiming. Boyd then confirmed he was already aware his arm was not broken.

EMS then cleared the scene.

I asked Boyd about the threatening statement made toward [VICTIM #1]. Boyd responded, “I never said that—I said only if I had to.” I requested Dispatch to confirm the exact wording from the 911 recording. Dispatch confirmed that Boyd had, in fact, stated: “I’m going in his room right now. He is going to jail. I’m going to blow his fu*king brains out.”

[VICTIM #1] advised Deputy Franklin that Boyd had been at his bedroom door, yelling and making multiple threats, but that no physical contact had occurred.

Based on the totality of the circumstances and the evidence provided, I informed Boyd he was under arrest for the following charges:

Terroristic Threats and Acts (Felony) — for threatening to shoot [VICTIM #1].

Unlawful Conduct During a 911 Call / False Report — for knowingly making a false claim about his arm being broken to solicit emergency response.

Due to Boyd’s disability, he was handcuffed in the front. The handcuffs were double-locked and checked for proper fit and safety. Boyd was then searched for weapons and illegal items before being secured in the rear of my patrol vehicle.

While assisting Boyd into the vehicle, I observed hospital discharge documents on his wheelchair from the previous day. Boyd requested these be brought with him to the jail. The documents were collected and transported with Boyd.

Boyd was transported to the Bartow County Jail without further incident. Arrest warrants for the above-listed charges were approved by Judge Mitchem
