On June 25, 2025, at approximately 1912 hours, I, Sergeant T. Ware of the Adairsville Police Department Patrol Division, responded to a 911 hang-up call at 100 Georgia North Circle, Adairsville, Bartow County, Georgia. While en route, Bartow County Dispatch advised that a white male had entered the hotel lobby inappropriately dressed and had urinated in the front parking lot near a red Honda CR-V.

Upon arrival, I made contact with the complainant, [WITNESS #1], the manager of the establishment. Mr. [WITNESS #1] reported that a male guest, who was last seen driving a red Honda CR-V parked across two spaces, had been acting strangely. Mr. [WITNESS #1] further stated that the male entered the hotel lobby with his pants down, exposing his buttocks. After exiting the lobby, the male walked to the front of the red Honda CR-V and urinated in the parking lot beside the vehicle.

I asked Mr. [WITNESS #1] if the incident had been captured on the hotel’s surveillance cameras. He confirmed that it had, and we proceeded to the lobby to review the footage. The video showed the male exiting the lobby and walking toward the red Honda CR-V. His pants were visibly down, exposing his buttocks as he opened the driver’s side door. The footage then showed him standing behind the open door, appearing to unzip his pants and urinate while looking toward Highway 140.

While gathering information on the vehicle, Deputy Shortnancy and I were approached by a male walking from the direction of Zaxby’s, who asked if we were there regarding the male urinating in the parking lot. The male, identified as [WITNESS #2], stated that he and his wife were parked under the hotel carport when his wife pointed out the male urinating beside the red Honda CR-V. Mr. [WITNESS #2] said the male’s pants were so low that his buttocks were exposed, and it was clear he was urinating.

I returned to the lobby where Mr. [WITNESS #1] confirmed that the individual had rented room #[REDACTED]. Deputy Shortnancy and I went to room #[REDACTED], where we made contact with Lance Adam Jolley. I placed Mr. Jolley in handcuffs, and he confirmed he was the only occupant of the room.

Once outside, I read Mr. Jolley his Miranda rights, which he acknowledged and agreed to waive. I informed him that he was being placed under arrest for public indecency. When asked why he urinated outside instead of in his room, his response was unclear and nonsensical.

Mr. Jolley was searched for weapons, then secured in the rear of my patrol vehicle and transported to the Bartow County Detention Center without incident. A state warrant for Public Indecency was obtained for Mr. Jolley.
