On May 18th, 2026 at approximately 10:43 hours, I responded to the lobby of the Cartersville Police Department at 195 Cassville Rd, Cartersville GA in reference to a possible theft report that occurred at [500 BLOCK] East Valley Rd, Rydal, GA.
I arrived on scene and met with the complainant, [WITNESS #1]. [WITNESS #1] was with her mother, [VICTIM #1] (victim). [WITNESS #1] advised me that her nephew, [VICTIM #1]’s adopted son, Skyler O’hern, has stolen a trailer from her as well as approximately $40,000 in funds putting her mother in extreme debt. Skyler has since moved out of the residence voluntarily after an informal eviction was served in January by [VICTIM #1] to get him out of the house due to his severe drug and alcohol abuse problem. He has also stolen [VICTIM #1]’s car in the past as well. They are not sure where he has moved to and his phone has been shut off since he left. They believe he might be in Atlanta somewhere.
[WITNESS #1] provided me the registration for the trailer, GA Tag: [REDACTED] to a 2023 Carry-On 5×8 Utility Trailer. The trailer is registered to [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] never gave permission for Skyler to have the trailer and he has told them several lies that it’s been at different locations. At one point he stated it was at LakePoint in Emerson and its also been stated that it was in Suwanee. This trailer will be entered into GCIC/NCIC as stolen (NIC: [REDACTED]).
[WITNESS #1] also showed me several bank statements dating back to November of last year from four different banks that are all accounts in [VICTIM #1]’s name. There were several highlighted charges throughout the statements from Bank of Ozark, Bank of America, Truist, and Citi Bank. [WITNESS #1] explained that she still has the original cards that were on the account in her possession which led her to believe that Skyler was using Apple Pay and tapping to pay for items. She did not know the exact total of money that has been taken form [VICTIM #1], but stated it is probably close to $40,000 total.
I took pictures of all the statements and they were uploaded to Polaris. I asked [WITNESS #1] to go make copies of the statements at a later time and turn them into the Sheriff’s Office for evidence.
[WITNESS #1] has since cancelled all the cards to the accounts and had new ones issued for her mother.
[VICTIM #1] also believes that Skyler might be in possession of her driver’s license, but is not sure.
I provided [WITNESS #1] the case number for the report.
An APS Referral will be completed.
