On June 26, 2026 at 1646hrs, I, D/S McKenzie received a 911 call for service in reference to an assault with injuries at [100 BLOCK] E Freeman St. The offender was described to be a shirtless black male.

When I arrived on scene, I observed a black male shirtless, Dexter Mack, and the victim, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], in the street. I saw Dexter Mack walking toward [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with his fist clinched, muscles tensed, and yelling at [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. I observed [REDACTED BY AGENCY] walking away in what appeared to be a frightened state. Dexter was detained by being placed in handcuffs.

Due to Dexter’s current presentation of aggression and report of bodily harm to another, I drew my duty weapon while giving Dexter Mack orders to get on the ground. D/S Desilva and I took Dexter Mack into custody by placing him in handcuffs. I searched his person incident to arrest then placed him in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle.

[REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that he and his friend [REDACTED] were inside of his camper that is parked in the empty lot at [100 BLOCK] E Freeman Street when Dexter threw a metal folding chair against the side of the camper. Dexter and [REDACTED] engaged in an argument over a speaker that Dexter let [REDACTED] borrow. [REDACTED] walked away. Dexter returned to the camper and told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to leave the property. Dexter became upset and threw a ash tray against the camper resulting in a dent being left in the side of the camper.

[REDACTED BY AGENCY] told Dexter if he throws one more thing, and he will call the sheriff’s department. Dexter then took a pipe and busted the window on the camper by the side entry door to the camper. Dexter began telling [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to leave the property again, and Dexter came toward [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with a metal pipe. Dexter struck [REDACTED BY AGENCY] approximately 6 to 8 times with a metal pipe from his legs to his back. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] ran down the street and called 911 from a neighbor’s house. I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] what was he thinking as Dexter struck him with the pipe and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] said he felt like he was going to die.

D/S Desilva located a metal pipe in the grass and another metal pipe leaning against the garage. One metal pipe is approximately 3ft long and the other is about 2ft long. D/S Desilva entered the pipes into evidence.

I observed injuries on [REDACTED BY AGENCY] body. I observed fresh abrasion wounds to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] back and left shoulder blade. D/S Kirby took pictures of the injuries and uploaded them to AXON.

I transported Dexter Mack to the jail hwere he was charged with Aggravated Assualt and Battery. I did not locate any prior history showing disputes between the offender and victim.

GRAND JURY RETURNS INDICTMENT — 1 COUNT FILED AGAINST DEXTER ANTWANN MACK

What this means: A Coweta County grand jury voted to formally charge Dexter Antwann Mack with one count of Aggravated Assault under O.C.G.A. 16-5-21. The indictment, filed in the Superior Court of Coweta County under Docket No. 2026R 968, alleges that on or about June 26, 2026, Mack is accused of making an assault upon the victim using a metal pipe — an object the grand jury found to be likely to result in serious bodily injury when used offensively. The case is being prosecuted by District Attorney John Herbert Cranford, Jr. of the Coweta Judicial Circuit, with Ayden McKenzie listed as the prosecuting officer. The indictment was received and filed in open court at 12:56 PM on August 11, 2026, by Deputy Clerk Angela C. Dennington. A grand jury indictment means at least 12 of the grand jurors agreed there was enough evidence to formally charge Mack — it is not a finding of guilt.
