On 8/21/2025 at approximately 2326 hours, I was dispatched to the area of [500 BLOCK] Cabiness Road, apartment [REDACTED], located within the jurisdiction of Forsyth, Georgia, in reference to a male subject reported to be actively breaking car windows in the parking lot. Due to the nature of the call, I did respond emergency lights and sirens. Upon arrival I spoke with [VICTIM #1], who stated he was inside apartment [REDACTED] and someone knocked at the front door, and told him Richard Wise just broke his ([VICTIM #1]’s) car windshield.

[VICTIM #1] stated he walked to the parking lot and seen his windshield to his 2020 Nissan Versa Damaged, and what appeared to be a broken home-made narcotic smoking pipe, and three batteries on the hood of his vehicle. [VICTIM #1] stated he did not know who the person was that initially observed the incident, but he [VICTIM #1] was sure that Wise damaged his property, due to other individuals at the apartment complex witnessing Wise acting erratic and strange throughout the evening. Per [VICTIM #1] Wise lives on straight street in an abandoned house, just behind the tree line.

Forsyth officers did go to that location and found Wise. Wise was placed under investigative detainment and did make a spontaneous utterance, that he had tripped and that is what caused him to damage the car wind shield. Wise stated he did not mean to intentionally damage the car. Wise was brought back over to the incident location and was placed in the rear of my marked patrol vehicle. I could smell the odor of an acholic beverage coming from his breath.

I asked Wise what happened this evening. Wise stated he and some friends had been drinking a 24 pack and as he was walking away from the [REDACTED] building he tripped and fell into the parked car and damaged the windshield. While looking at the vehicle, it appeared that Wise threw a handheld flashlight at the windshield and damaged the windshield. I asked Wise was the smoking pipe that was broken on the hood of the vehicle his. Wise stated he did not know who that pipe belonged to.

I asked Wise if the damage to the windshield was an accident, why did he leave the location. Wise stated when he damaged the windshield, individuals around him told him they were calling the police, and he panicked and was trying to just get back home. Handcuffs were double locked and checked for fit, and Wise was transported to the Monroe County Jail.

Wise was cited for Damage to property (15-5), loitering and prowling (16-11-36), and Disorderly Conduct (15 -8(11,2).
