Officer’s Narrative:
[Please note: The following is a direct transcription from the official initial incident report. The Georgia Gazette does not fix any spelling or grammatical errors that may exist. Any changes or redactions made by our staff are placed inside brackets. Some errors may exist. All subjects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The topics discussed may be sensitive to some readers. Discretion is advised.]

I was dispatched to the listed address in reference to a physical domestic. While en route, dispatch advised that the complainant, Ms. [VICTIM #1], reported that Mr. Shayne Coleman, her live-in boyfriend, had punched her in the face and that her nose may have been broken.

Upon arrival, Mr. Coleman was no longer on scene. I made contact with Ms. [VICTIM #1]. I observed visible swelling on the left side of Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s face and on her nose. I also observed a laceration on Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s right hand that was covered in blood. Due to Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s reported injuries and my observations, I requested EMS respond to evaluate her.

While inside the residence, I observed light blood spatter throughout the apartment and broken glass in the master bedroom. Ms. [VICTIM #1] stated that after she sustained her injuries, her mother arrived on scene and began arguing with Mr. Coleman. Ms. [VICTIM #1] also stated her mother was intoxicated and had not been present when the incident occurred. Ms. [VICTIM #1] mother was not on scene when deputies arrived. Based on Ms. [VICTIM #1] statement that her mother was intoxicated, was not present during the incident, and was no longer on scene, I did not attempt to contact Ms. [VICTIM #1] mother.

When asked what occurred between her and Mr. Coleman, Ms. [VICTIM #1] stated she did not want to press charges. During further questioning, Ms. [VICTIM #1] stated she did not want to tell deputies what happened because she did not want Mr. Coleman to go to jail. I continued attempting to ask Ms. [VICTIM #1] about the events leading to her injuries, but Ms. [VICTIM #1] refused to provide further details.

EMS arrived on scene and evaluated Ms. [VICTIM #1]. EMS cleaned and dressed the laceration on Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s right hand. Ms. [VICTIM #1] refused transport by EMS and stated she would call an Uber to transport her to the hospital. I remained on scene until Ms. [VICTIM #1] left the residence without further incident.

While I was on scene, Mr. Coleman contacted CCSO dispatch and stated he was at his parents’ residence in Hephzibah. Dispatch advised Mr. Coleman’s cell phone was plotting on Ironwood Drive. I attempted to contact Mr. Coleman, but he did not answer.

Based on the information available at the time of the call, including Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s refusal to provide a detailed statement and my inability to contact Mr. Coleman for questioning, no criminal charges were sought at that time.

Photographs were taken of Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s injuries, the blood spatter inside the apartment, and the broken glass. The photographs were uploaded to the evidence drive under this case number.
