On June 1, 2025, at approximately 1810 hours I, Officer Ayala responded to [200 BLOCK] Old Belwood Rd in reference to a verbal altercation between two males. Upon arrival, I met with the offender (Mr. Durand Franklin) he said the male/offender he was arguing with (Mr. Jarrod Simpson) had started yelling at him once Mr. Franklin decided to visit another neighbor in the same apartment complex. Ms. Franklin said while arguing, Mr. Simpson allegedly pushed him down and said “you don’t talk to nobody on this side.” Mr. Franklin said told Mr. Simpson to stop messing with him and to stop harassing him.
I then spoke with Mr. Simpson about the incident. While walking back to Mr. Simpson, he began to yell “If he comes back over here, I’m stomping his fu*king face off.” I then asked Mr. Simpson what had occurred tonight. Mr. Simpson said, “whoever called you, ask them.” Mr. Simpson said officer had already advised Mr. Franklin on a prior incident to stay on his side of the apartment complex. Mr. Simpson said Mr. Franklin came over to his side of the apartment complex and began “running his mouth” at him. Mr. Simpson said, “If he’s gonna do something, do something.” I was then advised by a neighbor that lives next to Mr. Simpson that Mr. Franklin said, “If I had a gun, I’d shoot all of you up.”
I then spoke with a witness (Ms. [WITNESS #1]) located on the right side of the apartment complex. Ms. [WITNESS #1] said she was outside during the whole incident. Ms. [WITNESS #1] said she heard both males say “I’m going to beat your a*s” to each other. Ms. [WITNESS #1] said Mr. Franklin called Mr. Simpson a “ni*ga” and she said she heard Mr. Simpson call Mr. Franklin a “cracker”. Ms. [WITNESS #1] said they were a lot of profanities used while there were approximately three juveniles under the age of 14 present during the altercation.
I then obtained information from everyone involved for this report.
I then placed Mr. Simpson under arrest for Disorderly Conduct and placed him in the right rear seat of my patrol vehicle. Officer Orellana placed Mr. Franklin under arrest for Disorderly Conduct and placed him in his vehicle. Myself and Officer Orellana transported both males to the Gordon County jail without incident.
State warrants will be issued for Disorderly Conduct for both males.
