On 05/08/2025 I observed a black male walking middle of the road yelling and screaming at people in the 200-Blk of W Oglethorpe Blvd in the alley.
As I was walking back to my patrol vehicle (18-199) that was parked in the alley, I observed a black male, later identified as Otis Choice yelling a cursing and screaming. I observed Choice scream at the cadets that were standing in the alley. I told Choice that he cannot be cursing like that. Choice became irate and continued to curse and yell causing the cadets to stop what they were doing and look at him. Ptl. Q.Davis attempted to de-escalate the situation but Choice started yelling and cursing at her.
Ptl. Q. Davis, Ptl. Jackson, and I placed Choice in handcuffs double locked behind the back. I conducted a search incident to arrest for any weapons and contraband with negative results. I conducted a check through NCIC/GCIC on Choice for any active warrants with negative results.
I made contact with a black female, identified as [WITNESS #1]. She stated she first observed Choice walking down the street yelling and cursing. She stated turned down the Oglethorpe alley. She stated while she was outside with her fellow cadets, she stated Choice yelled “fu*k yall’ to them. She stated she observed Choice yell “fu*k you b*tch” to Ptl. Q. Davis as she tried to make contact with him.
I made contact with a black female, identified as [WITNESS #2]. She stated she observed Choice waking in the middle of the road yelling and cursing. She stated Choice yelled at them before police made contact with him.
I transported Choice to the Dougherty County Jail. I placed my department issued Glock 47 (CECC017) in the trunk of my patrol vehicle (18-199). I escorted Choice inside of the jail and released him to the Dougherty County Jail staff. I issued Choice a citation for disorderly conduct (Citation # BB001910). I conducted a search of the rear seat of my patrol vehicle for any weapons and contraband with negative results. Audio and video footage of my investigation was captured on my Watch Guard Body Camera.
This case is cleared by arrest.
