On May 29, 2026, at approximately 2245 hours, I responded to [REDACTED] in reference to a dark-skinned male wearing a white shirt trying to “rub” on the complainant’s daughter.
Upon arrival, I met with [WITNESS #1], who stated she had been sitting in her vehicle with her kids outside her apartment at Building #[REDACTED]. [WITNESS #1] stated that she and the kids were sitting inside her vehicle with the windows down due to her apartment smelling like gas. [WITNESS #1] stated she was on the phone trying to order food and contact the gas company while her kids sat in the back of the vehicle. [WITNESS #1] said her daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (6 years old), climbed up into the front seat with her suddenly. [WITNESS #1] stated she looked around, inned black male, whom she only knew as “Bam” walked to the front of the vehicle. “Bam” was later discovered to be Odarian Phillips. [WITNESS #1] said Odarian began talking about a male who tried to jump him, and she asked what he was talking about, and Odarian walked back toward Building [REDACTED]. [WITNESS #1] stated Odarian was wearing a white shirt, and his sister stays in the apartment [REDACTED] across the hall from her apartment. [WITNESS #1] stated that once Odarian left [REDACTED BY AGENCY] told her that he had touched her buttocks. [WITNESS #1] said that she never heard Odarian talking to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] so he must have just reached in the open window and began touching her. [WITNESS #1] was unable to give a further description of what Odarian was wearing.
I went to Apartment [REDACTED] and spoke with [REDACTED], who stated she had no idea what was going on, and Odarian was not in her apartment. [REDACTED] gave consent for officers to check the apartment to make sure Odarian was not inside, and we had no contact. [REDACTED] stated that Odarian does not have a cellphone, and she does not know where he is.
I walked through the parking lots of [REDACTED], looking for Odarian, and had no contact.
There is a camera on Building #[REDACTED] pointed toward the parking lot where [WITNESS #1]’s vehicle was parked, but due to management not being on scene, we were unable to access the footage. The front office is open weekdays from 1000-1600 hours.
Investigator Cook was notified of the incident. [WITNESS #1] agreed to work with Investigators Monday about setting up an interview for [REDACTED BY AGENCY]

PUBLIC DEFENDER ENTERS APPEARANCE FOR ODARIAN MARTESS PHILLIPS
What this means: On July 8, 2026, the Office of the Public Defender for the West Georgia Judicial Circuit formally notified Carroll Superior Court that it would be representing Odarian Martess Phillips in Case No. SUWA2026000638. The attorney assigned is Kennelli Hice, a public defender whose office is located in Carrollton, Georgia. By filing this Entry of Appearance, Hice became the official attorney of record for Phillips, meaning all court filings and notices in the case must be sent to that office going forward. The filing also invokes Standing Order No. 7, a standard procedural order in the West Georgia Judicial Circuit. Phillips is facing charges including Child Molestation and Violation of Probation in Carroll Superior Court, before Judge Erica Tisinger.
