On March 23, 2023 at 1051 hours, I Sgt Rhyne was dispatched emergent to the intersection of Davis Road and Hwy 25 South, reference a traffic collision involving a car vs motorcycle.

Upon arrival, I activated my BWC and began conducting traffic control. I observed a black motorcycle on its side on the middle of the intersection, and was informed that the other vehicle had fled the scene. I made contact with witness [WITNESS #1] who stated the vehicle that fled was a black Chevrolet sedan bearing GA Tag [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. She said she followed it North on Hwy 25 and discontinued following around the Hwy 25 and North Liberty intersection. The driver of the motorcycle, [VICTIM #1], said he was hurting. BEMA was on scene when I arrived and was evaluating him.

I called next list wrecker (Taylor’s) to retrieve the motorcycle. Mr [VICTIM #1] (driver of the motorcycle) was transported by BEMA ambulance to Burke Health for treatment. He was eventually transported from Burke Health to Wellstar due to injuries sustained in the accident.

I was contacted by BCSO Lt Cory Barr who stated he had the car matching the description and Ga Tag detained on a traffic stop out in the county. I sent 1502 (Officer Mays) to the scene of the traffic stop to place the driver under arrest and tow the car. Once the vehicle was towed next list (Top Quality), 1502 (Officer Mays) brought suspect Jamarie Robinson to WPD and turned him over to me. I transported Robinson to BCDC in my pre searched patrol car, checked the handcuffs for proper fit and to ensure they were double locked. I arrived at BCDC and turned him over to the jail with proper paperwork. The vehicle was again searched to make sure he left nothing in my vehicle.

Written statements were provided by both drivers.

Robinson was charged with:

Failure to Yield Right of Way (40-6-72)
Leaving the Scene of an Accident (40-6-270)

Both drivers had pistols that were secured into evidence for safekeeping:

[VICTIM #1]- One 9mm Taurus Pistol Serial # [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with 36 rounds of ammunition, 3 magazines, and one holster. Secured in evidence locker #1.

Jamarie Robinson- One 9mm Taurus Pisol Model 709 Serial # [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with 4 rounds of ammunition, and one magaine. Secured in evidence locker #2.
