At approximately 15:29hrs on 30 MAR 2026, I was dispatched to [1100 BLOCK] West Broad Ct Apt [REDACTED] in reference to an altercation in progress. Per the call notes in the dispatch system, the complainant was refusing to answer questions but advised “she thinks there is going to be a domestic and she will be waiting outside.” The notes went on to say that the complainant had been arguing on an open line and was yelling at other people.
[1100 BLOCK] West Broad Ct Apt [REDACTED] is an apartment within the Frazier Homes public housing complex: a high crime area with a relatively high prevalence of domestic violence and other criminal incidents. Given the complainant advising that there was about to be a domestic violence incident, but the notes entered that she was actively engaged in an argument and seemed to possibly be unable to/uncomfortable answering the calltaker’s questions, I had a high degree of suspicion that a domestic incident was already occurring.
Upon my arrival on scene, I entered the downstairs section of the breezeway that [1100 BLOCK] West Broad Ct Apt [REDACTED] is directly above. While entering this breezeway, I could hear items slamming inside of [1100 BLOCK] West Broad Ct Apt [REDACTED] while a group of females stood in the breezeway downstairs.
One of these females approached me after I started walking up the stairs and made it known that she was the complainant. This female was later identified as Ms. [VICTIM #1]. I asked Ms. [VICTIM #1] what was going on and, before she could answer, a black male, who was later identified as Mr. Charles Frazier, exited the door of [1100 BLOCK] West Broad Ct Apt [REDACTED].
It was immediately apparent that Mr. Frazier was highly agitated, as he was shirtless, yelling, walking with his shoulders pulled back, and noticeably sweaty to a large degree. As Mr. Frazier continued walking away from the front door of the apartment and toward the staircase, Mr. Frazier yelled, “LET’S GET THIS SH*T CRACKIN’ THEN N****! GET THIS SH*T CRACKIN’ THEN!”
Mr. Frazier then turned toward the staircase, appeared to notice me, and stopped moving. I immediately observed that Mr. Frazier had a pistol tucked into the right side of his waistband. Given Mr. Frazier’s highly agitated state, aggressive verbal and body language, and active possession of a firearm in the midst of a domestic violence investigation, I drew my gun and directed it toward Mr. Frazier in order to be prepared to defend Ms. [VICTIM #1] and myself in the event he tried to shoot one or both of us. Mr. Frazier immediately fled back into the apartment despite me telling him three times to “come back out here,” and “come here, man.”
I radioed for emergent backup and stoodby outside the apartment, preparing for Mr. Frazier to come back outside. After a brief period of time, Mr. Frazier spontaneously re-emerged from within the apartment and walked outside. For the above mentioned reasons, I pointed my firearm at Mr. Frazier as I issued him commands to lie down on the ground and put his hands behind his back.
Mr. Frazier was compliant with these commands and I was able to secure him in handcuffs and place him under arrest. As I was taking Mr. Frazier into custody, I noticed that the firearm had been removed from his waistband. I led Mr. Frazier to the rear seat of my patrol car, where CPL Drongowski waited with him while Ofc Martinez, Ofc Samms, and I conducted a protective sweep of the apartment.
With Mr. Frazier secured and the scene rendered safe, I then conducted my interview with Ms. [VICTIM #1]. Ms. [VICTIM #1] explained to me that Mr. Frazier is her boyfriend and that she has been the victim of domestic violence at his hand before. Ms. [VICTIM #1] said today, she and her friends (Ms. [WITNESS #1] and Ms. [WITNESS #2]) were walking back from the store when they noticed Mr. Frazier outside of Ms. [VICTIM #1]’ home.
Ms. [VICTIM #1] and her friends said Mr. Frazier walked up on Ms. [VICTIM #1] in an aggressive manor, saying things like, “let’s get to it,” and “I’m finna slap the sh*t out this h*e,” (quotes may not be ver batim). Ms. [VICTIM #1] and her friends said Mr. Frazier took off his shirt as he was confronting Ms. [VICTIM #1], which I know to be a common indicator that an individual intends on fighting.
Ms. [VICTIM #1] provided me with consent to search her apartment for the gun that I believed Mr. Frazier hid somewhere inside. SPD K9 SGT Ameduri also utilized his K9 to search for the gun. This search was not productive of a firearm. Mr. Frazier told me that he is a convicted felon and this was confirmed by SPD teletype.
Mr. Frazier was insistent that he did not have a firearm on his person, and that the item I observed in his waistband was a phone and phone charger.
I transported Mr. Frazier to the Chatham County Detention Center and transferred custody of him without incident.
