On July 9th 2025 at 0035 Hrs I officer Mays and Officer Kitchen responded emergent to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Magnolia Acres in reference to a Stabbing.
Upon arrival I activated my B.W.C and made contact with Arthur Sims who stated that this occurred back at Borough Ct. Mr sims stated that while trying to leave the residence with his belongings Mrs. Sims also stated at this time he already took his wallet with other items as he was leaving the property and that is when Mrs. Sims decided to cut Mr. sims on his left arm. After this contact and new information myself and 1402 (Ofc Mitchell) proceeded to make contact with Demetria Sims the alleged wife that stabbed him on left arm.
Upon arriving on scene to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Borough Ct myself and 1402 knocked on the door with our weapons drawn due to the nature of the call and being confronted by a armed subject. Upon the door opening we made contact with a unidentified transgender who was very upset that we had our guns drawn and pointed at them. Multiple times during this interaction we attempted to calm the other occupants of the home down but they did not want to cooperate. I also asked for a statement from any of the other witnesses in the home and none of the witnesses wanted to speak with myself in reference to the case.
Mrs. Sims stated that this event occurred while he was being physical and attempting to choke her and that is when she grabbed the knife and punctured him with this knife. Her claims is that this was a self defense.
I could not make the determining factor of who was the predominate aggressor therefor I followed policy and notified command staff at approximately 0100 and told them of the situation. LT. Joseph Taylor stated that if you do not know who the predominate aggressor is take both parties to jail.
At 0107 both parties were placed under arrest, cuffs placed on, then double locked to the rear and were read there charges. The female party was placed in my (Officer Mays) vehicle after being searched by LT Laura of BCSO and then placed in my Pre searched Patrol Vehicle.
Upon leaving the Burke County Detention Center I checked my rear seats for anything that Mrs. Sims could have left being that was in her possession.
Officer Kitchens transported Arthur Sims to BCDC
