On August 16th, 2025 I responded to the area of Grassdale Road and GA 3 to speak with Victim 1 in reference to a hit and run.
While Victim 1 was traveling North on GA 3 she passed through the intersection of Grassdale Road when a gray Volkswagen Missouri tag [REDACTED] pulled out of the McDonalds and struck her vehicle and left the scene. Victim 1 wanted to press charges.
Sgt Downer was able to loacte the Volkswagen at 1400 Grassdale Suites along with the driver Mrs. Tabitha Patterson. Mrs. Patterson stated she pulled out of the McDonalds and Struck vehicle 2 and left the scene because she panicked.
Mrs. Patterson was arrested with both hands handcuffed behind her back double locked and checked for fit. Mrs. Patterson was patted down incident search to arrest. Mrs. Patterson was escorted to the rear of of my marked patrol vehicle that was checked free of contraband.
