[NARRATIVE #1 on December 10, 2025]

On December 10, 2025, at approximately 1838 hours, the writer was dispatched to 199 E. Louise Street (Ingles) in reference to an aggravated assault that had just occurred.

While en route, dispatch advised that the suspected aggressor had left the scene in a white Ford Crown Vic equipped with a black brush guard on the front, bearing Georgia license plate [REDACTED]. The vehicle was last seen turning right onto E. Louise Street, traveling toward the four-way stop, and continuing straight onto Old Historic U.S. 441. A GCIC check showed the plate was registered to [REDACTED], residing at [4600 BLOCK] Talmadge Drive, Clarkesville, GA 30523.

The writer arrived on scene at approximately 1838 hours and made contact with [VICTIM #1], [WITNESS #1], and two juveniles: [VICTIM #2] (DOB [REDACTED], approximately 11 years old) and [VICTIM #3] (DOB [REDACTED], approximately 9 years old). [VICTIM #1] asked that the juveniles be allowed to exit the Jeep due to being traumatized.

The writer asked [VICTIM #1] if he, [WITNESS #1], or the juveniles required medical attention; he declined. The writer then asked whether they would be willing to relocate to the Clarkesville Police Department at 405 Madison Street so the juveniles could exit the vehicle and remain warm inside the station. [VICTIM #1] and [WITNESS #1] agreed.

Upon arriving at the police department, [VICTIM #1] exited his vehicle and received a phone call from his ex spouse, Ilar (Ila) Rose English. During the call, Ilar became verbally aggressive toward [VICTIM #1]. The writer advised Ilar she was welcome to come to the police department to provide her statement. Ilar replied, “Fuk that. I ain’t got sht to say. Nothing happened.” The writer acknowledged her response and instructed [VICTIM #1] to end the call so that witness statements could be completed.

Once statements were collected and video evidence was reviewed, the writer determined the following:

[VICTIM #1] and Ilar share two children and do not have a court-issued custody order. They have previously agreed verbally to share custody on a 50/50 basis. [WITNESS #1], [VICTIM #1]’s girlfriend, accompanied him to the child exchange because the eldest child, [VICTIM #2], had disclosed concerns to her counselor regarding events occurring at Ilar’s residence. A DFACS referral was generated as a result. This appears to have contributed to Ilar’s behavior during the exchange.

During the custody exchange, the situation escalated. Based on video evidence provided by [WITNESS #1] and statements from all involved, there was significant profanity, physical shoving, and allegations that Ilar kicked [VICTIM #1] three times and prevented him from leaving.

One of the videos shows the vehicle Ilar was driving suddenly reversing from the area of the driver-side door. In the footage, the headlights can be seen quickly retreating, and the juveniles can be heard crying and making statements such as, “Why did Mom do that?” and “We didn’t want anything to happen. We love you, [WITNESS #1].” [VICTIM #1], [WITNESS #1], and both juveniles reported that Ilar drove the vehicle directly toward them.

This information was further supported when the writer returned to Ingles to attempt to obtain any available surveillance footage. The incident occurred in the southeast parking lot. Both vehicles were initially parked parallel to one another during the exchange. When the situation appeared to escalate, the driver of the white Crown Vic can be seen rapidly reversing, then turning the vehicle toward the Jeep and accelerating quickly before coming to an abrupt stop.

Based upon the following, the writer has enough probable cause to issue a felony warrant for Aggravated Assault and Cruelty to Children in the 3rd degree. The warrants will be issued later this day. The writer will request that his relieving officer will retrive the thumbdrive of the ivdeo evidence that is being copy and downloaded by the store mangere of Ingles: Mr. [REDACTED].

In addition, a DEFACS referral case will also be initiated today. The children of [VICTIM #1] are not scheduled to be returned to thier mother until Sunday, December 14th.

[NARRATIVE #2 on December 11, 2025]

At approximately 1900 hours, the writer made contact with Judge Thomas and three warrants were taken out: One for Aggravated Assault and two for Cruelty to Children in the third degree.

The on call DFACS number was called ([REDACTED]). The writer spoke with [REDACTED] and advised her of the ongoing situation and retiereated the children are due to be exchanged back to their mother, Illar Rose English, on December 14th, 2025 at 6 pm. Nothing else follows.

The writer returned a phone call made by Ms. Ilar Rose English on December 11, 2025 at approximately 1017 am. The phone call was recorded on the writers body worn camera. Ms. English essentially stated that she has bruising on her leg from where [VICTIM #1] kicked her during the incident last night.

The writer advised her to come by the police department to fill out a witness statement. Ms. English stated she would come to the police station December 12, 2025 betten 0930 am and 10000 to discuss the matter. The writer advised her to bring her id so we can assure we are speaking with the right person.
