On 08/02/2025, I initiated a call for service, (Disorderly Conduct) at 2347 Dawson Rd, (Harvest Moon). Contact was made with [WITNESS #1], a manager of the bar. [WITNESS #1] advised that W/M, Elijah Carnes is under the influence of alcohol and is being extremely loud and irate on scene. [WITNESS #1] advised Elijah was disturbing the peace and people of the property.
Contact was made with Elijah in the parking lot of the bar. Elijah was loud outside while using profanity. Elijah was asked to leave the property and given a verbal warning for disorderly conduct.
Elijah left the scene of the incident, to return shortly after leaving. Elijah was still irate yelling things like,” what the fu*k do you want!? I didn’t do anything. I was punched in the face. Fu*k you b*tch!”
As I grabbed and told Elijah he was being detained he pulled away from me running into the roadway, north on Dawson Rd. Elijah was advised to stop to which he did not and ran through the Walgreens parking lot, (2351 Dawson Rd).
Elijah then ran toward Nottingham Way where he was eventually placed into double locked handcuffs that were checked for proper fit. Elijah was searched incident to arrest which resulted negative for weapons or contraband.
Elijah was placed into patrol vehicle 20-039. Elijah was then escorted to the Dougherty County Jail, in reference to Disorderly Conduct, (38-43), (ВB002070) and Interfering With City Officers Prohibited, (38-1), (BB002069).
My duty weapon was secured before entry into the jail. Elijah was turned over to the jail staff at this time. The backseat of the patrol vehicle was searched before and after the arrest of Elijah.
I did not observe any injuries to Elijah at this time.
This incident was cleared by arrest.
