On 07/19/2025 at approximately 0122 hours, I responded to [200 BLOCK] Scott Road Leesburg Ga 31763, in reference to a Domestic incident.

Upon arrival, I made contact with Heather Hendley who essentially stated the following: She and her wife [VICTIM #1] went out to the bar tonight. She and [VICTIM #1] got into a verbal altercation about the keys to the vehicle. Hendley then left the bar without [VICTIM #1]. She advised [VICTIM #1] showed back up at the house with two unknown males. She became irate due to the males parking in the front yard because they only park in the back yard. Due to how Hendley was acting and being aggressive, she was placed handcuffs and placed in the rear seat of my vehicle for her safety and our due to the nature of the call and how aggressive Hendley was being towards everyone on scene. Hendley was yelling and cussing moving around and acting in an irate manner and not listening to lawful commands being given to her to calm down. She continued to yell at the children and the other people on scene.

I made contact with [VICTIM #1] inside the residence who essentially stated the following: She and Hendley got into a verbal altercation at MC’s Bar and Grille in Dougherty County because Hendley would not give her the keys to her vehicle so she could leave and go home. [VICTIM #1] was able to get her hands on the keys but Hendley snatched them away and broke the key ring they were on. Hendley then got into the vehicle and left the bar. [VICTIM #1] advised when Hendley left she asked one of the people that is an Uber driver [VICTIM #2] if he could take her home to which he replied yes. [VICTIM #1] advised that upon turning onto Scott Road Hendley was waiting and tailgated them all the way down the road until they pulled in the drive way. Upon arriving at the house that’s when Hendley grabbed a golf club and began beating on [VICTIM #2]’s vehicle.

The driver [VICTIM #2], [VICTIM #1] and another passenger [VICTIM #3] then exited the vehicle to try to get her to stop beating the vehicle. During so, Hendley strikes [VICTIM #3] in the back of the head with the golf club. After that, Hendley ran around the outside of the vehicle and jumped in the driver seat of [VICTIM #2]’s vehicle. She stole the keys out of it and threw the keys in an unknown direction ultimately depriving [VICTIM #2] of being able to drive his vehicle. While [VICTIM #2] was trying to locate his keys, Hendley knocks [VICTIM #1] to the ground in front of the vehicle by her hair ultimately ripping parts of her hair out of her head. Once [VICTIM #1] is on the ground, Hendley begins to choke [VICTIM #1] with her hands around her throat. [VICTIM #1] looks up and observed all four of the children standing on the front porch watching the incident. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] (J) then grabs the golf club Hendley had and hits Hendley on the shoulder with the club in an attempt to get Hendley off [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #3] saw what was going on and runs over to help [VICTIM #1] get away.

[VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #3] advised they only exited the vehicle so Hendley would stop hitting his vehicle then she jumped in the front seat took the keys out and ran into the wooded area in front of the residence and threw his keys somewhere and returned to [VICTIM #1] and jumped on her.

All the children witnessed the incident and were all emotionally upset and very aware of what had just taken place. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] аdvised me that he did hit Hendley with the golf club due to her being on [VICTIM #1] and them not being able to get her away from [VICTIM #1].

On 07/19/25 I will be contacting a Magistrate judge in reference to obtaining warrants on Heather Hendley for the following Charges.
