On Monday, April 20th, 2026, at approximately 21:35 hours I, Officer Gibbs, responded to the listed address regarding a letter being left threatening an individual if the landlord did not pay her $20,000.00 USD by the end of the night. On scene I met with complainant [VICTIM #1] who advised she owns the property and that a Summer Garner had written the letter and dropped it off to a resident there at approximately 17:00 hours.

The letter was addressed to [VICTIM #1] and did state Summer was holding one of the girls hostage and will kill them and hide the body if she did not pay her $20,000.00. The letter will be scanned and attached as a digital copy to this report and the physical copy will also be submitted to evidence as an original for court purposes as [VICTIM #1] stated she would like to press charges.

Summer then called 911 stating she wrote the letter as a prank and stated she would meet with officers. Upon meeting with Summer and introducing myself, she reiterated that she wrote the letter as a prank to “scare the house mom,” referring to [VICTIM #1].

Based on the evidence of the letter, testimony given, and Summer’s freely given admission that she wrote the letter; she was advised she was under arrest. She was placed in handcuffs behind her back which were checked for fit and double locked. She was then escorted to the rear passenger compartment of unit 165 which was checked prior to and following her transport to Floyd County Jail. She was booked in on the listed charges without further incident.

The dispatcher was also requested to save the audio, which I will receive a copy of at a later date and attach it to this report number under the Axon Evidence system. A dispatcher left the following note in the call log;

“Log – listened back to type in word what she said – “It was a prank, I wrote it to myself but it has my landlords name on it. It was just a prank to pull some strings to make them leave me alone, because theyve been bothering me all week long. They been blaming me for sh*t and been making me do sh*t that I dont wanna do. Its a lot going on, thats why I left. Because Im dealing with a lot. And I have mental problems and done been in 3 mental hospitals dealing with this.” I asked her where she was at, and that I could have an officer come talk with her. She said she didnt want to get arrested. I told her I didnt know if she was going to be arrested, but regardless they would have to talk to her to get her side of it. Asked her again where she was, adv. She was on chateau and it was a prank again. — But audio is saved so they can download”
