On May 17, 2026, at approximately 20:55 hours I, Deputy M. Jones, was dispatched to [REDACTED] in Macon-Bibb County, GA. The call was in reference to a domestic disturbance.
Per the request of the reporting party, [WITNESS #1], I contacted her via phone. She briefly explained the incident at hand. I made contact with her in person at Rocky Creek Rd at Houston Ave. [WITNESS #1] further explained that her daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] called her and stated that Jarvis Floyd hit her in the face. Jarvis Floyd is the brother of [WITNESS #1] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY]’s uncle. [VICTIM #1] was present and he explained that once he and [WITNESS #1] arrived at [REDACTED] to pick up [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Jarvis assaulted him. [VICTIM #1] testified that Jarvis walked to their vehicle, reached through the open window and slapped him in the face. [VICTIM #1] then exited the vehicle and a fight ensued. [VICTIM #1] stated that he only asked Jarvis why did he hit [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. I did not observe any visible injuries I advised these subjects to stay put and wait for my return.
I arrived at [REDACTED] and made contact with [WITNESS #2], [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and Jarvis Floyd. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] explained that Jarvis was having a conversation and she interrupted it. Jarvis then threw a plastic cup at her and hit her face. [WITNESS #2], [REDACTED BY AGENCY]’s grandmother, admitted that she witnessed this incident. I did not observe any visible injuries to [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. When I asked for Jarvis’ testimony he refused to speak. I then arrested Jarvis by placing handcuffs on his wrists behind him. The handcuffs were double locked and checked for fit.
I then transported Jarvis to be identified by [WITNESS #1] and [VICTIM #1]. They relocated to [REDACTED] I arrived on scene and explained the details of my findings and charges for Jarvis.
Jarvis complained multiple times that I applied the handcuffs too tight. I had him exit the vehicle, and while adjusting the handcuffs he attempted to flee. I was able to gain control of him and with assistance from Cpl. D. Jones he was arrested again and transported to the Bibb County LEC.
Warrants will be taken.

DEFENSE FILES MOTION TO REDUCE BOND
What this means: Attorney Savannah Griffin filed a Motion for Reduction of Bond on behalf of Jarvis Tyshawn Floyd in Bibb County Superior Court. The motion argues that the existing $8,750.00 bond is more than Floyd can afford, that he has remained jailed since his May 17, 2026 arrest as a result, and that he is a Georgia resident who would be a good risk on bond. The defense asked the court to lower the bond to an amount Floyd can actually pay so he can be released while preparing his defense and attending future court appearances. The District Attorney’s office was notified that a hearing on this motion would be scheduled.
