On January 29, 2024 at approximately 5:00 PM I, Dep. D. Medina responded to [2900 BLOCK] Ridge Ave. Vista Pointe Apartments in reference to an accident with a pedestrian.
On arrival, I made contact with [WITNESS #1], who stated that her son had just been struck by a vehicle. She stated that she was inside her apartment when a neighbor told her her son had been struck by a car. She stated she ran out to see where her child was and saw that her son and a green car were on the roundabout at the end of the apartment complex. She stated that she remembers seeing a small green two door car and a male subject. I asked if she was able to describe the make and model of the car and she stated she did not because she was more worried about her son but remembers seeing a small coupe car, green in color. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that her neighbor might be able to provide more information on the suspects vehicle and suspect that left.
I went outside and met with [WITNESS #2]. She stated that the accident occured in front of her apartment near the roundabout. She stated she saw the green car after it had struck the child and described it as a small coupe with two doors, green in color with what appeared a temporary tag because it was bent up. I asked if she could describe the male suspect and she stated she knew his name as Robert Wilson because they had gone to school together. I ran the name through GCIC and I was able to find a Robert Tyrone Wilson. I asked her if the Robert Wilson I found was the driver and she immediately identified him as the driver.
Using the first name and last name, I was able to locate the address of [100 BLOCK] Cypress Ct. for Robert Wilson. I was able to make contact with Robert Wilson’s brother at that address and advised to ask Robert Wilson to get in contact with me regarding the accident. After a couple of days, and other attempts to locate Mr. Wilson at address and numerous phone calls, I was able to speak with Robert Wilson at 111 3rd. St. regarding the accident. Mr. Wilson stated that he was in an accident with the child at Vista Pointe Apartments. I asked if there was any damage to his green Toyota GR86, Georgia tag [REDACTED] and he stated that there was some damage to the front driver side rim caused by the child’s bicycle. He stated that he did speak with the child’s mother but left once everything was ok. I asked if he had called 911, provided vehicle information, and personal information and he stated no, because it was a civil dispute and that is the reason he left.
Robert Tyrone Wilson was handcuffed and placed in the back of my patrol vehicle. He is charged with hit and run and was given for the hit and run.
