August 28th, 2026, at approximately 13:25 hours, I, Deputy Michael Healy #541, was dispatched to the address of [REDACTED], in reference to a physical domestic that had occurred approximately 30 minutes before the call came in. The caller, [VICTIM #1], informed Gilmer County Communications that his ex-wife, Paris Johnson, had struck him multiple times in the face. I responded Code 1 (No Lights or Sirens Active) to the address of the incident, along with CPL (Corporal) Jeremy Carver #529.

Upon our arrival, I observed a white in color single wide manufactured home with a wooden uncovered front porch. I exited car #621 and activated my BWC (Body Worn Camera). As I approached the residence, I was met at the porch by Mr. [VICTIM #1]. I asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] what had taken place that morning. He stated that approximately 30 minutes before our arrival, he and his ex-wife got into a physical altercation. He stated that everything was going well that day and he was attempting to work things out in regard to their romantic relationship, but at approximately 13:00 hours, he walked into the bedroom where Mrs. Johnson was lying in bed with their 2-3 year old son, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], to initiate conversation.

This caused Mrs. Johnson to tell Mr. [VICTIM #1] that she wanted him out of the room. Mr. [VICTIM #1] responded by stating that he wasn’t getting out of the room (a shared bedroom) because he wanted to have a conversation and he asked her to look him in the face. She responded by stating “No, I don’t want to talk to you bro.”, and “Get out of my fu*king room.”. They began arguing about how Mrs. Johnson was claiming that Mr. [VICTIM #1] hasn’t changed at all. Mr. [VICTIM #1] attempted to communicate to Mrs. Johnson that he is not the same person he was and that he’s not mad. Mrs. Johnson then claimed that Mr. [VICTIM #1] almost broke her bedroom door. Mr. [VICTIM #1] then stated, “How did I almost break the door, by walking in?”.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] then claimed that Mrs. Johnson got up from the bed and struck him several times in the head/face area. Mr. [VICTIM #1] claimed that he pushed Mrs. Johnson away from him to stop the attack. After she attacked him and he pushed her off of him, she began claiming that he laid hands on her and continued antagonizing him to “do it.” insinuating that she wanted him to strike her in return, to which he did not. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that he stood with his hands behind his back after he pushed her off stating to her, “You’re lucky you’re not a man.”. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stated that his juvenile son was present in the bedroom at the time of the incident. He then stated that Mrs. Johnson left the residence with their son.

I asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] if I could see his head where she had struck him to which he agreed. Upon looking at his forehead, there were two distinct red marks on the left and right side of his forehead. The marks were approximately and inch wide and were consistent with being struck. These marks were photographed on my BWC. I then asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] to show me where the altercation had taken place to which he agreed. After assessing the scene, I asked if he would be willing to complete a victim’s statement form, to which he agreed (but did not complete). While he was filling out the statement form, Mrs. Johnson began calling Mr. [VICTIM #1]’s cell phone. Mr. [VICTIM #1] placed her on speaker phone so that CPL Carver and I could hear the conversation.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson began arguing yet again, and Mr. [VICTIM #1] asked her about her claims that she could call Detective Sippel with the Gilmer County Sheriff’s Office and have him arrested at any time, to which she stated that she could. Mrs. Johnson stated that she had a recording of the entire altercation this afternoon. I then asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] to ask her for a copy of that recording. Upon asking him, she denied that she would send it to him. I then asked him to speak to Mrs. Johnson.

Upon making contact with Mrs. Johnson, I asked if she would be willing to send me the recording to which she hesitantly agreed. I asked if she would be able to come to the Sheriff’s Office to make a statement, to which she agreed, but stated that it wouldn’t be until later that night. While on the phone with Mrs. Paris, I asked her what had happened that afternoon. She claimed that Mr. [VICTIM #1] had tried to come into their bedroom by forcing his way through the door. She then stated that he attempted to force himself on to her in a sexual manner. She also stated that Mr. [VICTIM #1] had pushed her, to which Mr. [VICTIM #1] already admitted to doing so, so that she would stop hitting him. Mrs. Paris also claimed that after being pushed, she took their juvenile child and went out to the car to leave. While attempting to leave, she stated that Mr. [VICTIM #1] attempted to block her from leaving by standing in the open driver door.

Mrs. Johnson then left the residence. I asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] if he had done this, to which he stated that he did walk out of the house after her, but did not block her or stop her from leaving. After hearing Mrs. Johnson’s statement, I listened to the recording that Mrs. Johnson had sent. The recording captured the two of them arguing in the manner previously described by Mr. [VICTIM #1]. The recording corroborated all of Mr. [VICTIM #1]’s claims about the argument. In the recording I also heard their juvenile child yelling what sounded like “stop!”, while Mrs. Johnson struck Mr. [VICTIM #1]. This recording was sent to [REDACTED].

After hearing the recording, I asked Mr. [VICTIM #1] if I could go look at the door that Mrs. Johnson claimed he forced his way through. Upon observing the door, which was a white in color hollow interior door commonly found in manufactured homes, I saw no signs of damage or forced entry. The door operated normally as intended. I also photographed the door with my BWC.

Mr. [VICTIM #1] was then given a victim’s pamphlet and a victim’s notification was completed later this date.

After taking Mr. [VICTIM #1]’s verbal statement, hearing the recording of the altercation, and observing the physical injuries, probable cause was established to determine that Mrs. Johnson was the predominant aggressor in this incident.

Parris Nicole Johnson is charged as follows:

O.C.G.A 16-5-23.1 Battery (Family Violence Act)
