On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Cpl J Lewis, Houston County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), Criminal Investigations Division (CID), was on duty as an Investigator with HCSO. At approximately 1447 hours, Cpl Lewis was contacted by HCSO CID Capt Noler, and instructed to respond to Perry Police Department (PPD), in reference to a report of a physical domestic dispute which occurred at Houston County Superior Court, 201 N. Perry, Pkwy, Perry, GA.

INTERVIEW WITH VICTIM:

At approximately 1303 hours, Cpl Lewis arrived on scene at PPD and met with victim, [VICTIM #1], along with his son, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and his wife, [WITNESS #1]. During the interview, [VICTIM #1] provided the following information:

• On this date, a custody hearing regarding custody of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was held in Houston County Superior Court. [VICTIM #1] and his ex-wife, Jessica Schoolcraft, were the involved parties in the hearing. Custody of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was granted to [VICTIM #1]. At approximately 1402 hours, [VICTIM #1], [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [WITNESS #1] exited the courtroom and walked toward the stairwell to exit the building. After exiting the courtroom, [VICTIM #1]’ other daughter, [REDACTED BY AGENCY], exited the courtroom, loudly shouting “f*ck you,” toward [VICTIM #1]. Jessica then exited the courtroom, running down the hallway toward [VICTIM #1]. [WITNESS #1] turned toward Jessica, attempting to stop her. Jessica went past [WITNESS #1], and intentionally punched [VICTIM #1] in his chest. HCSO courthouse security personnel separated the two parties, then Jessica’s sister, Kelly Eubanks, intentionally spit in [VICTIM #1]’ face. [VICTIM #1] indicated he did want to pursue charges in this incident.

Cpl Lewis did not note any visible injury to any of the involved parties. Cpl Lewis provided [VICTIM #1] with the case number for this incident, and informed him he would further investigate this incident.

VIDEO REVIEW:

Cpl Lewis returned to HCSO, 201 N. Perry Pkwy, and met with HCSO Courthouse Security Lt Lumpkin, who provided video footage of the incident. Cpl Lewis observed the following, when reviewing video footage (no audio capability):

• Time stamp 2:02:26 PM, [VICTIM #1], [WITNESS #1], and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] exited the courtroom walking toward the staircase.
• Time stamp 2:02:38 PM, Ella Woolsey exited the courtroom, and appeared to yell toward [VICTIM #1], [WITNESS #1], and [REDACTED BY AGENCY].
• Time stamp 2:02:41 PM, Ella extended her middle finger in the air toward [VICTIM #1], [WITNESS #1], and [REDACTED BY AGENCY].

• Additional courthouse security personnel arrived, and all parties were escorted from the scene.
• Throughout the video, multiple uninvolved members of the public were present.

CONCLUSION:

It should be noted, that 201 N. Perry Pkwy, is a government building accessible to the public, including juveniles, and is not used solely for court proceedings. The area in which this altercation occurred, was in a common area both visible and audible to members of the public, who were present to complete routine business, such as renewing vehicle registration, or obtaining a passport. This incident was an obvious breach of the peace, as members of the public and courthouse employees exited other offices to observe the commotion, which was audible throughout the entire building.

Based on video evidence, Cpl Lewis concluded there was probable cause to apply for arrest warrants for the following individuals:

Ella Woolsey – (1) count Disorderly Conduct – OCGA 16-11-39
Kelly Eubanks – (1) count Simple Assault – OCGA 16-5-20
Jessica Schoolcraft – (1) count Simple Assault (Family Violence) – OCGA 16-5-20

On November 5, 2025, Cpl Lewis met with Houston County Magistrate Judge Wechsler, who found probable cause to issue said warrants.

This case will be cleared by arrest.
