Officer’s Narrative:
[Please note: The following is a direct transcription from the official initial incident report. The Georgia Gazette does not fix any spelling or grammatical errors that may exist. Any changes or redactions made by our staff are placed inside brackets. Some errors may exist. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

On Monday June 8, 2026 around at 1036 hours I Lt. Smith was working the front lobby of the Sheriff’s Annex at 111 Third St. when I was approached by a male named [VICTIM #1].

He stated he was contacted by a female named Amber Ates at 0819 hours. He let me listen to the voicemail she left. In the voicemail she was using profanity towards him and saying “I don’t give a fu*k about a PTO!” ” I’m not going to court!” “Quit giving out this address!” He then stated he has taken a TPO on her however it has not been served. I confirmed that with Lt. Rickert from our Civil Division. After leaving that voicemail, she then called him 9 more times from a blocked number. He did send me screen shots of the call log from his phone.

A warrant will be signed on Amber Ates for Harassing Phone calls at a later time.
