On March 3 2026 I Ptl. Pollock responded in normal mode to [REDACTED] in reference to a disorderly call.

Upon arrival I attempted contact with negative results. I was advised by the neighbors at [REDACTED] that once the police came, Dynasty Martin and Michael Williford ran inside the house. I knocked on the door and advised Michael and Dynasty that if they do not come to the door, I will obtain a search warrant due to prior knowledge of Dynasty having an active Probation Warrant. Michael then came to the front door and gave Ptl. Farmer and I consent to search his residence.

Ptl. Farmer and I began to search the residence when I observed a black male, later identified as Darian Williford, lying on the floor under a red blanket. Darian was detained in double locked handcuffs to the rear when I looked over to my left and observed Dynasty Martin lying on the floor of the closet. I advised her to stand up and placed her in double-lock handcuffs on the rear of her back.

Darian was placed in the rear seat of Ptl. Farmers Patrol vehicle. Martin was placed in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle. She was searched incident to arrest by Ptl. Bazinet. A NCIC/GCIC search was conducted on Darian and Martin, both of whom came back with positive results for probation violation warrants.

While Martin was in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle, I read her the Miranda warning when she advised she understood her constitutional rights and would like to speak with me. Before I could ask Martin anything, she began to cry and advised me that her uncle Michael Williford had been raping her and trying to fight her every time she tried to leave his house [REDACTED].

I asked Martin how Michael had been raping her when she stated that Michael would give her drugs. I asked Martin to elaborate on her previous statement, noting that in January of 2026, she began hiding at Michael’s house because she knew she had an active warrant. Martin stated that Michael knew about the warrant, so he didn’t want her to leave the house.

Martin stated that the first time she believed Michael raped her was during January when he came home and gave her a once of Crack and a Joint (marijuana). Martin stated that she got high, and when she woke up, she was lying on the living room floor, and her pants were around her ankles.

Martin stated a week or two passed and Michael gave her a once or crack and a joint again and waited until she got high. Martin stated once she was high Michael made her lean over the kitchen counter top at his house and pulled down her pants. Martin stated that Michael then penetrated her vagi*a with his pe*is. Martin stated due to her being high she was unable to tell Michael to stop.

Martin stated that the most recent event happened Sunday morning March 1st 2026 when she advised she was in the living room when Michael gave her crack and a joint and he waited until she got high. Martin stated once she was high Michael made Martin lay on her side in the living room floor when he pulled down her pants and penetrated her vagi*a with his pe*is.

Martin originally stated that she hadn’t told anybody that she had been getting raped due to her feelings of shame and embarrassment. Martin then stated that a [REDACTED], who possibly stays at [REDACTED], knows about her being raped. Martin stated she has no text messages, video footage, or witnesses that could corroborate her accusations of rape against Michael.

I informed Sgt. Allen of this allegation and informed her that I was going to detain Michael. Martin wouldn’t answer any questions about any violent/physical altercation between her and Michael. I informed Michael that he was going to be detained in reference to the allegations made against him and that he would have to speak to an investigator.

As I began to grab Michael’s arm, he began to tense up and tried to pull away. While he tried to pull away, I took Michael to the ground by tripping him. Michael fell to the ground and tried to tuck his arms under his chest. I placed one cuff on his right wrist, snatched it from under him, pulled his arm, and placed it behind his back, then Ptl. Farmer assisted me by pulling his left arm behind his back so I could place the second cuff on his left wrist. Michael was then searched incident to arrest and transported to the (201 W Oglethorpe Blvd) Law Enforcement Center by Ptl. Bazinet.

I then transported Martin to the Lily Pad (320 W 2nd Ave) and handed her over to Investigator Battle. I then responded to the Law Enforcement Center, where I was advised I would be transporting Michael to the Dougherty County Jail in reference to Ptl. Bazinet case #26-002714 for Obstruction and terrorist threats, and acts.

I took Michael out of the interrogation room and placed him in double locked cuffs on the rear of his back. Michael was searched with negative results for weapons and contraband. Michael was placed in the rear seat of my patrol vehicle and transported to the Dougherty County Jail, where I placed my service weapon in the trunk of my vehicle. Michael was then handed over to jail intake staff without incident. I searched the rear seat of my patrol vehicle for weapons and contraband with negative results.

This incident will remain active and forwarded to investigations.
