[NARRATIVE #1 on June 16, 2025]

On Monday, June 16, 2025, at approximately 1816 hours, PFC White and I, Officer Ansari, were dispatched to a call about a possible female trying to hit somebody with a bat at Living Proof (408 Shorter Ave, Rome, GA 30165).

Upon arrival, I saw that the female was standing on the porch of Living Proof, but she did not have a weapon on her. While trying to figure out what was going on, I asked the female what her name and date of birth was. She told me her name was Bilal Abdullah (born [REDACTED]). When I asked dispatch to run that name and date of birth, they advised they couldn’t get any returns. As PFC White looked around for a possible weapon, it was discovered on top of the porch table. It was broken and had a pointy end on one side. Officer Oney found another part of the weapon inside the building of 406 Shorter Ave.

I went to speak with our complainants, Karrie Watts, and [VICTIM #1], at 406 Shorter Ave, another building that is part of Living Proof. Karrie told me that their dog was barking at somebody outside from inside the building. They looked outside and saw the female walking toward the building with a wooden object.

Karrie said the female had managed to open the door from outside somehow and entered the building. She said the female swung the bat at her but missed, hitting the wall beside her, and the wooden object broke in half. After swinging it, Karrie said she followed her and [VICTIM #1] around the building with the wooden object in her hand, trying to attack them.

[VICTIM #1] told me the same narrative and agreed to what Karrie said. [WITNESS #1], another witness inside of 406 Shorter Avenue, said she was in the other room and had heard a commotion outside, so she came to check. When she arrived, she saw the female with an object in her hand inside the building.

After hearing the statements from the victims, I went back to the suspect and placed her under arrest at approximately 1838 hours. The handcuffs were double-locked and checked for a proper fit. She was searched by Officer Oney, and I placed her in the backseat of the patrol vehicle. I searched her belongings on the porch of Living Proof and took them with me.

An EMS unit was called to the scene per the request of the suspect, as she wanted a welfare check on her pregnancy. Upon their arrival, the suspect refused any medical attention because there were no female attendants who could check her.

The suspect was then transported and booked at the Floyd County Jail for the offenses of two counts of O.C.G.A. 16-5- 21 Aggravated Assault, O.C.G.A. 16-7-21 Criminal Trespass, and O.C.G.A. 16-10-25 Giving False Name to Law Enforcement Officers. While at the Floyd County Jail, PFC White recalled an encounter with the subject previously at Heritage Park on 5-25-2025, and based on that call log and the picture attached to the GCIC return from that call, we were able to determine that the suspect’s real name was Bobby Gray and that he is a male.

Also, at the Jail, I discovered that our victim, Karrie Watts, had a warrant against her for Failure to Appear and asked Officer Rains if he could go back to Living Proof to locate her.

[NARRATIVE #2 on June 16, 2025]

On June 16, 2025 at approximately 1946 hours, I arrived at 408 Shorter Ave in Rome, GA 30165 to check for an individual with an active arrest warrant after Officer White called me and advised me she was there.

When I arrived, I made contact with Karrie Watts, who the active arrest warrant was for. I detained Watts using handcuffs to the rear, double locked and checked for tightness while dispatch confirmed the warrant using the last four digits of Watts social security number. After it was confirmed, I placed Watts under arrest for the active arrest warrant and placed her in the backseat of my patrol car. I then transported Watts to the Floyd County Jail for a hold for Walker County SO.
