[NARRATIVE #1 on January 15, 2026]

On January 15, 2026 at approximately 08:15 A.M., I, Cpl. J. Carver #529, was dispatched to the area of Newport Road and Garnet Drive in reference to suspicious activity. Dispatch advised that the caller (Chancelor Middleton) stated that a male was scoping out the properties. I responded code one without any emergency equipment activated.

While en-route, dispatch advised that the caller and suspicious male [VICTIM #1], identified by the caller, were engaged in an argument in front of [1500 BLOCK] Garnet Drive in the roadway. A few minutes later dispatch advised that Mr. [VICTIM #1] had left in the direction of the gate to the neighborhood and was driving a black Nissan Murano.

I made contact with Mr. [VICTIM #1] on Newport Road at Ogdon Road. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that he was driving around and noticed four deer fighting in the woods and stopped to watch them and he was approached by the caller and he pulled a gun on him and advised him that he knew who he was and would kill him if he didn’t leave. Mr. [VICTIM #1] had a passenger by the name of [WITNESS #1] with him and confirmed Mr. [VICTIM #1] story.

I provided Mr. [VICTIM #1] with the case number and advised him that I would be in touch. He stated that he would be at [200 BLOCK] 10th Street. After Mr. [VICTIM #1] pulled off, a Coosawattee Security Officer [WITNESS #2] pulled up and advised that he witnessed the incident between the caller and Mr. [VICTIM #1]. Mr. [WITNESS #2] stated the he did see Mr. [VICTIM #1] parked in the middle of the roadway and Mr. Middleton had him at gunpoint.

I then relocated to speak with Mr. Middleton. I made contact with Mr. Middleton and his wife, [REDACTED], just before their address on Garnet Drive. Mr. Middleton stated that he was the one that ran Mr. [VICTIM #1] off because he is familiar with him because he use to work for Coosawattee Security. Mr. Middleton stated that he almost had a break in at his house in 2025 and didn’t want Mr. [VICTIM #1] near his property.

While talking to Mr. Middleton, I did observe several large bucks walking in the woods in front of his address. I asked Mr. Middleton if he had a gun on him and he allowed me to see his pistol located in his driver’s door and I retrieved the serial number (094-47842) from it.

I advised Mr. Middleton that I was going to be documenting what had happened today and provided him with the case number and victims pamphlet. I then relocated to Mr. [VICTIM #1]’s address and provided him the case number as well and victims’ pamphlet. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated he should be able to drive around and look for fallen trees so he can contact the POA and cut them up for firewood.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that he wanted to press charges against Mr. Middleton for pointing the gun at him and threating to kill him. I advised Mr. [VICTIM #1] that I would be documenting everything for him and would also be contacting a detective.

Based on the witness statements and Mr. Middleton having a gun in his possession, warrants will be applied for Aggravated Assault and Terroristic Threats. Victim notification form completed and turned in to dispatch.

We made contact with Mr. Middleton on his front porch. I placed him in handcuffs in front of him, checked them for proper fit and had Deputy healy and Deputy Harter-Ray pat him down incident to arrest and secure him in the back seat of my patrol unit 424 while I spoke to Mr. Middleton’s parents.

Mr. Middleton was transported to the Gilmer County Adult Detention Center where he was turned over to the detention staff without incident.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] was notified by me of Mr. Middleton’s arrest as soon as I left the detention center. I contacted dispatch to let them know that Mr. [VICTIM #1] was notified as well.
