On Thursday April 23rd 2026 at 0606 hours I (Corporal A. Walker #2329) responded to [5000 BLOCK] Wood Dale Drive Macon Georgia 31210 in reference to a fight.
Upon arrival, I spoke with the complainant who was identified as [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] stated that when he arrived at 5602 Thomaston Road (Circle K) Macon Georgia 31210 he stood outside for a minute talking to his friend [REDACTED] before he went inside to relieve Dexter Cash, a fellow co-worker. [VICTIM #1] stated that while talking to [REDACTED], Cash approached him in an aggressive manner and told him to get his a*s inside the store. [VICTIM #1] stated that he told Cash that he was coming inside but he would not talk to him like that. [VICTIM #1] stated that Cash walked back into the store briefly before walking back outside and stated to [VICTIM #1] what you want to do. [VICTIM #1] stated that he just looked at Cash because he could not believe how he was acting and that is when Cash threw a punch at him and a brief scuffle ensued.
As a result of the incident [VICTIM #1] sustained severe head injuries and multiple bruises to his face and head and was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries and Cash left the scene heading in an unknown direction.
I spoke with the store manager [REDACTED] and she provided me with Cash’s address. I responded to [5700 BLOCK] Thomaston Road (Thomaston Crossing Apartments) Apartment [REDACTED] attempting to make contact with Cash. I spoke with Cash’s sister who lives at the address and she stated that he did not come home after work last night and she had not spoken to him. At this point, I returned back to Circle K to view the camera footage. After viewing the camera footage I left the scene. [VICTIM #1] was given the victims case pamphlet. Warrants to be taken out on Cash.
