On 02/07/2025 at 20:15 hours I was dispatched to the area of Shenandoah Dr and Cumberland Dr to meet with complainant, [WITNESS #1], in reference of a possible domestic dispute between her parents.
Ofc. Shelton spoke with [WITNESS #1] prior to my arrival and advised him that her father, Douglas Moore, had been very irate and argumentative to his wife, [VICTIM #1]. [WITNESS #1] stated she believes that her father might be hanging a metal health episode/breakdown. [WITNESS #1] advised her parents lived at [600 BLOCK] Shenandoah DR. [WITNESS #1] stated she drove from Cedartown to her parent’s residence after receiving the phone call from her mother.
When I first made contact with [VICTIM #1], she was visibly very upset. [VICTIM #1] was crying and breathing heavily. [VICTIM #1] stated she was upset because of how her husband had been acting. [VICTIM #1] then stated that her husband Douglas had a gun.
As I was walking away from the house to brief Lt. Tanner on the incident, Douglas exited the residence.
Douglas advised to me that him and his wife had been arguing about paying their children’s bills. Douglas advised he was never physical with his wife, or ever threatened her.
As I was speaking to Douglas inside of his residence, Lt. Tanner walked inside and advised me to placed Douglas under arrest for committing the offense of Simple Assault FVA.
At 20:47 hours I advised Douglas he was under arrest. Handcuffs were placed to the rear, double locked, and checked for proper fit.
As I was in route to the Gordon County Jail, I was contacted by Lt. Tanner via cellphone. Lt. Tanner advised to me that [VICTIM #1] stated Douglas had put a pistol to her stomach and to her head a few hours before police were dispatched to their residence. Due to me receiving this information, Douglas will now be charged with Aggravated Assault FVA. [VICTIM #1] was very afraid of what Douglas would do to her when he got out of jail. She stated he has been threatening her all week and she does not know what to do. [VICTIM #1] stated she thought Douglas was going to kill her when he put the gun to her stomach and to her head. [VICTIM #1] stated Douglas had been treating her badly all week and he never stops threatening her and complaining about paying bills for their children.
Douglas was released to the Gordon County Jail for booking without incident. The gun used by Douglas was not located at time of report.
A warrant for Aggravated Assault has been applied for.
