Both, Crawford and Williams was placed in double locked handcuffs to the rear, searched incident to arrest, and placed in the backseat of separate patrol vehicles.
I conducted a wanted check through GCIC/NCIC on all parties, which was met with positive results. Williams had an active warrant for Probation Violation (WNO 114137 DOW 05/27/2026) The warrant was confirmed by [REDACTED] at the Dougherty County Jail and verified by Dispatcher [REDACTED].
Photos were taken of the room. The photos were properly stored in Property Management evidence locker 02.
This case is not domestic nature due to both parties being cousins and not living together.
