On 06.12.2026 I responded to [1100 BLOCK] Mohawk St. in reference to a stabbing.
Upon arrival I was waved down by Charles Beamon. Charles advised he was stabbed in the right shoulder by [VICTIM #1].
Charles, who was stabbed on the shoulder and bleeding, advised he was stabbed by his neighbor [VICTIM #1]. Charles pointed at [VICTIM #1] who was sitting in his motorized wheelchair in his doorway.

As the situation goes [VICTIM #1] hired Charles to clean his house. When [VICTIM #1] inspected his house Charles did not clean the residence and may have spilled a liquid on the floor and did not clean it up. [VICTIM #1] also noticed he was missing his pain pills from his room. The two would share an alcoholic beverage together before [VICTIM #1] would confront Charles on the missing pain pills.

Not long after the choke hold was applied, [VICTIM #1] would take out his folding pocketknife and with what was described as an over the head and to the back thrust with the knife stabbing Charles one time in the shoulder. [VICTIM #1] would also advise he tried to slashing motion with the knife at Charles however [VICTIM #1] did not make contact.
Charles advised the two would share an alcoholic beverage together when [VICTIM #1] falsely claimed that he took his pain medication from his room. the two would have an exchange of would with [VICTIM #1] stabbing Charles in the shoulder and only then Charles punched [VICTIM #1] back (unclear where Charles struck [VICTIM #1]).
[REDACTED] was on scene upon my arrival, however he did not witness the physical altercation take place nor the stabbing, [REDACTED] heard it happening, then when to check thing out, when he discovered Charles had been stabbed. [REDACTED] asked Charles if he needed help and to let him apply first aid to him, Charles replied to with, fu*k you! then slammed the front door to his residence.
Charles was transported to St. Josephs Chantler hospital,
While at St. Josephs Det. Jimenez questioned Charles, after the questioning Det. Jimenez made the decision to arrest Charles Beamon for the attack on [VICTIM #1].

FIRST APPEARANCE AND BOND HEARING HELD — BOND SET AT $50,000
What this means: Charles Edward III Beamon appeared before the Recorder’s Court of Chatham County for his first appearance hearing on June 15, 2026. This is a required early court appearance where a judge reviews the arrest, advises the defendant of their rights, and decides whether to set bond. The court found that bond was appropriate under O.C.G.A. § 17-6-1(b)(1) and set bond at $50,000. Beamon signed the first appearance form acknowledging he had been advised of his rights and the charges against him. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM in Courtroom C of the Chatham County Courthouse.

FELONY DOCKET HEARING HELD — CASE BOUND OVER TO SUPERIOR COURT
What this means: On July 8, 2026, Charles Edward III Beamon’s case was heard on the felony docket in Recorder’s Court of Chatham County, with an officer required to be present. Following that hearing, the case was bound over — meaning it was transferred up — to Chatham County Superior Court. This is a standard step in Georgia felony cases. The Recorder’s Court does not have the authority to try felonies, so once probable cause is established, the case moves to Superior Court, where a grand jury will decide whether to formally indict Beamon.
