On 07/20/2025 I (Ptl. Sibley) responded in normal mode to 2719 Pointe North Blvd in reference to a Family Violence with a Weapon.
Upon arrival, I observed Evoni Debose and the caller [VICTIM #1] arguing with each other while Evoni was on the 2nd floor and [VICTIM #1] was on the first floor. I advised Evoni to come down to the first floor being that dispatch advised of possible weapons being on scene. Evoni continued walking west on the second floor towards the incident location (2719 Point North Blvd room [REDACTED]). Evoni stopped moving when she observed myself and Ptl. Wilkinson start traveling upstairs. Ptl. Wilkinson approached Evoni and began placing her in handcuffs to gain control of the scene. Evoni began passively resisting (pulling her arms away from myself and Ptl. Wilkinson’s motion to place the handcuffs on her) which resulted in us slowly taking her to the ground with a small amount of force. Evoni was placed in handcuffs to the rear with the handcuffs being double-locked.
Evoni was then escorted to Ptl. Wilkinson’s patrol vehicle where she was searched before she was placed in the rear driver side seat. Ptl. Wilkinson stood by with Evoni While I stepped away from his vehicle to speak with [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] advised she was in the room cleaning with her children when she sent 2 of her children down stairs to take the trash out. [VICTIM #1] advised Evoni was sleep while they were in the process of cleaning the entire room/incident location. [VICTIM #1] stated Evoni awoke out of nowhere and got upset which resulted in her asking aggressively “why she was up”. [VICTIM #1] stated she advised Evoni she was cleaning but Evoni ignored that. [VICTIM #1] stated Evoni grabbed her by the neck and she couldn’t breathe during the incident. I did observe a injury (scratch) to the left side of [VICTIM #1]’s neck.
Photographs were taken [VICTIM #1] stated Evoni did this in front of her daughter [REDACTED BY AGENCY] who is a juvenile (a child risk assessment was completed and later submitted). I spoke with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with the permission of [VICTIM #1] to which she stated she observed Evoni grab [VICTIM #1]’s neck. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] grabbed her own neck physically while expanding her eyes to demonstrate [VICTIM #1]’s action during the altercation. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also stated she observed Evoni squeeze [VICTIM #1]’s cheeks together also physically demonstrating the action by squeezing her own cheeks together while poking her lips.
After gathering [REDACTED BY AGENCY] statement I notified Sgt. L. Jones of the allegation of Aggravated assault to which he called out for the on call investigator (Cpl. Ellis) who responded out to the incident location shortly after. Cpl. Ellis responded to the scene and made contact with all parties involved and determined that Evoni would be transported to the Dougherty County Jail. I did the transport and upon arrival, my department issued firearm was secured in the trunk of my patrol vehicle. Evoni was escorted into the Jail intake area where she turned over to Jail intake staff. Evoni advised she didn’t have any injuries following this arrest.
This case is turned over to investigations.
