On March 1, 2026, at 00:27 hours, I was dispatched to [100 BLOCK] Brookside Drive, Villa Rica, Georgia, in reference to a physical domestic that had occurred at [100 BLOCK] Brookside Drive.
Upon arrival, I made contact with the complainant/victim, [VICTIM #1]. While speaking with [VICTIM #1], I observed visible swelling and bruising to her right eye, along with a laceration located beneath her right eye.
[VICTIM #1] stated that she and her boyfriend, identified as offender Reynolds Bidez, had been drinking prior to becoming involved in a physical altercation inside their residence at [100 BLOCK] Brookside Drive. [VICTIM #1] stated that during the altercation, Reynolds grabbed her and slammed her into their bedroom door, causing her eye to swell and resulting in the laceration. She further stated that Reynolds then left her lying on the bedroom floor and took her smartwatch, cellular phone, and iPad in an attempt to prevent her from contacting law enforcement.
[VICTIM #1] stated that she attempted to flee the residence through the front door; however, Reynolds blocked her path by standing in front of it. She then attempted to exit through the back door, at which time Reynolds grabbed her by the hair on the back of her head and threw her onto the floor. [VICTIM #1] stated that while she was on the floor, Reynolds pinned her down and removed her pink and white striped blouse, stating he was going to burn it because it had blood on it. She stated that Reynolds then told her to clean herself up. [VICTIM #1] stated she continued fighting in an attempt to break free and flee the residence.
[VICTIM #1] stated that the last thing she remembered during the assault was Reynolds choking her, causing her to lose consciousness. [VICTIM #1] stated she later regained consciousness and experienced a seizure. She stated that after the seizure, Reynolds went into the bathroom to vomit due to intoxication. [VICTIM #1] stated she then gathered herself and fled the residence. She stated that Reynolds began chasing her as she exited but fell. [VICTIM #1] stated Reynolds then locked the door after she exited. She ran to the neighboring residence at [100 BLOCK] Brookside Drive, where the homeowner, [REDACTED] called 911 on her behalf.
[VICTIM #1] stated she was unable to provide an exact time of the incident due to losing consciousness and not having access to her phone or other devices. She also stated she was unsure what initially led to Reynolds becoming physical.
[VICTIM #1] was provided a written witness statement form, which she completed on scene. The statement will be attached to this report.
Contact was attempted at [100 BLOCK] Brookside Drive by knocking on the door; however, no one answered. Several attempts to contact Reynolds on several different numbers ,as well as [VICTIM #1] phone was attempted but were unsuccessful. While on scene, a pink and white striped blouse consistent with [VICTIM #1]’s description was observed in the backyard fire pit and appeared partially burned. Photographs were taken of the fire pit and blouse, as well as of [VICTIM #1] and her injuries. These photographs will be attached to this report.
Investigator Rae was notified and responded to the scene. The incident was turned over to investigators. [VICTIM #1] was escorted to a secure location for her safety.
Multiple attempts were made to contact Reynolds Bidez via telephone with negative results.
