On 07/09/2025 at approximately 1242 hrs, I was dispatched to 1518 U.S. Hwy 19 South Leesburg, GA 31763 (Master Body Works) in reference to customer trouble which was determined to be disorderly conduct.
Upon arrival, contact was made with [WITNESS #1] (Witness) who essentially stated the following: [WITNESS #1] stated she observed Marlo Howard (Offender/Arrested) enter the shop area of this location after being told not to. It should be noted we (Law Enforcement) responded to this location two other times in regards to the same customer on 07/09/2025. It should also be noted that during the two incidents prior, Master Body Works employee, [WITNESS #2], advised that Howard was acting irate and disturbing the operations of the business regarding prices on a vehicle repair. During the present incident, Howard advised several times that she did not go back into the shop and no one told her she could not be back there. While on scene, I observed several signs stating Authorized Personnel Only indicating customers should not enter beyond the gated area of the business.
At this point I advised Howard to step outside. Prior to exiting the building, I asked employee [WITNESS #2] (Complainant) for his I.D to which he provided. I asked [WITNESS #2] if Master Body Works wanted to pursue charges and he advised “yes.” I stepped outside with Howard and while she was talking about her vehicle, I started attempting to move Howard towards my patrol vehicle to place her under arrest as we were still in front of the business. As I started to escort Howard, she turned around and shoved her hands in my face. At this time, I took Howard to the ground to gain better control. As I got one hand in handcuffs, Howard advised she would stand up, because of her dress riding up. I allowed her to get up and finished placing handcuffs on her (DL/TC). I placed Howard in the rear of my patrol vehicle and finished my investigation.
Prior to leaving, Howard’s belongings (her purse and $702) was turned over to Howard’s mother, [REDACTED],.
Howard was transported to the Lee County Jail and was turned over to the intake staff without further incident. Howard was released on two separate summons for disorderly conduct. The first being 46-3(A)(6) (Citation Number: MC01199) for disturbing the peace of the business on the occasions mentioned above as well as being irate while at the location, the second is 46-3(A)(11) (Citation Number: MC001200) for fighting me in my official lawful duties as a law enforcement officer.
I was advised by employees that the incident was captured on their camera system and I will return at a later date to obtain a copy of the footage.
Howard was also advised that per [WITNESS #2], she was trespassed from the location.
