On Friday, May 9, 2025 at 1645 hours DEPUTY C.L. HILES with the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office Uniform Patrol Division was dispatched to [4400 BLOCK] DEWS POND RD, CALHOUN, GORDON COUNTY, GEORGIA in reference to a verbal argument between neighbors.
Upon arrival DEPUTY HILES made contact with a male subject later identified as [VICTIM #1]. MR. [VICTIM #1] explained to DEPUTY HILES that he received a package in his mail box belonging to his neighbor, later identified as DAVID SCOTT MAITLAND. MR. [VICTIM #1] stated that he removed the package from his mailbox and was going to take it to MR. MAITLAND. When MR. [VICTIM #1] and his wife, [VICTIM #2] arrived at MR. MAITLAND’s residence, MR. [VICTIM #1] stated that he did not think any one was home, so MR. [VICTIM #1] decided to pull up and place MR. MAITLAND’s package onto his porch. As MR. [VICTIM #1] began to leave, MR. MAITLAND came out of his house while shouting vulgar and obscene language at MR. [VICTIM #1]. MR. [VICTIM #1] was attempting to explain to MR. MAITLAND that his package was placed inside of the wrong mailbox and he was bringing it to MR. MAITLAND’s residence. Then MR. and MRS. [VICTIM #2] stated that MR. MAITLAND stated he was going to get his gun and was going to shoot MR. [VICTIM #1] if he did not get off of his property. MR. MAITLAND then walked inside of the residence. MRS. [VICTIM #2] then advised MR. [VICTIM #1] to leave.
DEPUTY HILES then relocated to [4400 BLOCK] DEWS POND RD to make contact with MR. MAITLAND. Upon arrival DEPUTY HILES made contact with MR. MAITLAND. DEPUTY HILES asked MR. MAITLAND what had happened earlier with MR. [VICTIM #1]. MR. MAITLAND stated that he and MR. [VICTIM #1] were in an argument because MR. [VICTIM #1] was on his property. When asked if he stated to MR. [VICTIM #1] that he was going to go get his gun and shoot MR. [VICTIM #1], MR. MAITLAND stated that he did not say that to MR. [VICTIM #1] but then stated he did not state the comment in that way.
After interviewing both parties, DEPUTY HILES placed MR. MAITLAND under arrest for TERRORISTIC THREATS AND ACTS. MR. MAITLAND was handcuffed behind his back, cuffs double locked, and transported to the Gordon County Jail. MR. MAITLAND was turned over to jail staff without any further incident.
Both VICTIMS MR. [VICTIM #1] AND MRS. [VICTIM #2] completed a victim statement worksheet. MR. MAITLAND was trespassed from [4400 BLOCK] DEWSPOND RD, CALHOUN, GEORGIA 30701.
