I responded in normal patrol mode to 300 E. Oakridge Dr in reference to a Shooting. Upon my arrival I asked two people in the parking lot have they been shot, with one later being identified as being D’atrice Stephens and she stated no. We later discovered that Stephens was the one who called 911 and reported that she had been shot. There was several officers that responded in emergency patrol mode to this incident. Ptl. Harris, Cpl. Hunt, Ptl. Harrell, Ptl. Holt, Sgt. Laethem and myself, all responded to the scene in emergency mode. Two Med units (Med 4 and Med 6) both responded in emergency patrol mode to the incident location. There was two other officers (Cpl. Richardson and Ptl. Conley) that was on the west side of town that was looking for the incident location as well.
Once med units arrived Stephens then admitted to being shot in the abdomen. Med units stated that there was no gunshot wound. Stephens then stated that she had been shot in the head. Once Stephens was fully checked out there was no signs of a gunshot wound. After further evaluation I asked Stephens for her name and she spelled out D’atrice Stevens. I then asked Stephens for her date of birth to which she stated [REDACTED BY AGENCY] 1990. When I looked up the name in the system it came up with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] 1990. I then asked Stephens for her license to confirm her name and date of birth. Stephens stated that she did not have her license. I then asked Stephens again what was her birthday and she stated [REDACTED BY AGENCY] 1990. I asked her again to make sure and Stephens stated which ever one I wanted to use.
Stephens was then placed in double locked handcuffs to the rear and escorted to my patrol vehicle. A search incident to arrest was then conducted on Stephens by Ptl. Harris. I transported Stephens in my patrol vehicle 18-196 to the Dougherty County Jail. Once at the jail Stephens was then escorted inside the jail. The jail intake staff advised me that the name Stevens was wrong on the citation and that her last name was Stephens. I asked Stephens again what was her name and she stated Stevens-Baldwin. Stephens was then charged with Misdemeanor Citation (AA003697 for Unlawful use of 911) and Misdemeanor Citation (AA003698 for Interference of City Officers Prohibited). I went back outside and checked the rear seat of my patrol vehicle for any contraband and was met with negative results.
Sgt. Laethem was notified of this incident.
This case is cleared by arrest.
