On 11/02/2025, I, Ofc. K. Dockery was working patrol with the Newnan Police Department when I responded to Walmart, located at 1025 Bullsboro Dr, Newnan, GA, regarding Disorderly Conduct. This incident occurred as Lt. V. McPhie was working part-time at the store. During his shift, he radioed for assistance regarding a subject on the scene who was being disorderly.

Upon arrival, Lt. McPhie had the male (later identified as offender Mario Barber) calmed down and outside of the store. Lt. McPhie insisted that he had probable cause to arrest Mario for his Disorderly Conduct. I placed Mario under arrest with his hands cuffed behind his back, double locked, and checked for proper fit. I then searched Mario incident to arrest and placed him in the rear partition of my patrol vehicle.

I spoke with Lt. McPhie regarding the case, and he generally provided the following.
