[NARRATIVE #1 on April 02, 2025]

On April 02, 2025, I was dispatched to [500 BLOCK] Leonard Bridge Rd. in reference to the caller soon to be ex-wife coming to that address and causing a disturbance. Cory stated that [VICTIM #1] damaged an Iphone 14 pro max, took an xbox controller, a wireless headset. While on the way to this address Murray County 911 advised that [VICTIM #1] was at the Chevron located at 3080 SR 52 Alt wishing to speak. She did advise that she did damage the Iphone but only did it after Cory fired a pistol. I arrived and spoke with Cory Parker who stated that [VICTIM #1] came there to gather her property. While in the house Cory said she threw items from the closet all over the bedroom and took the above listed items. Cory said that when she got back in her car she threw the Iphone on the ground which caused the screen to shatter. I asked Cory and the other male on scene if a firearm had been involved in the incident, both Cory Parker and [WITNESS #1] stated no. I then asked Cory if he owned a firearm and what did it look like. he stated it was a dark in color 1911 style .45 pistol.

I asked Sfc. Hill on the radio if [VICTIM #1] could describe it, he advised it was a military style handgun. While waiting for Sfc. Hill to arrive I had Cory go back inside to see if anything was damaged in the room. Sfc. hill arrived on scene and questioned Cory about the handgun being fired, Cory stated that he did not fire a pistol during the confrontation. Sfc. Hill advised him that there was a recording made by one of the witnesses in [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle. After hearing that Cory admitted to having the pistol and firing it at the ground near the steps of the house. When asked why he did that he stated he wanted it all to stop, meaning the arguing between him and [VICTIM #1]. Cory was then told that the items taken were considered marital property and she could take them, but the firing of the handgun was the only crime committed. Cory was then placed under arrest and transported to the Murray County jail for booking. I originally stated that I would be charging him with Reckless Conduct O.C.G.A 16-5-60. I then decided to change it to Disorderly Conduct O.C.G.A 16-11-39 instead. The firearm used will be turned into evidence.

[NARRATIVE #2 on April 02, 2025]

On April 2, 2025 at approximately 2230 hours, I SFC. Hill and Deputy Harrison responded to the above address in reference to a disturbance.

While enroute to the address Murray 911 stated that the other party to the disturbance was at the Chevron gas station at Highway 225 S and Highway 52 Alternate.

I then went to the Chevron and made contact with [VICTIM #1] who stated that she was at the address on Leonard Bridge RD getting her things when Cory Parker came out of the residence and fired a gun at her car so she left. She stated that Cory came out wanting his phone fired the gun so she threw the phone out of the window and left.

Ms. [VICTIM #1] stated that she and her friend [WITNESS #2] and [WITNESS #2]’s wife went to the address and her friend [WITNESS #2] recorded the incident on her phone while [WITNESS #2]’s wife stated in the car. I then asked if her friends would send her the recording and she stated that her friends did not want to get involved. I then asked her to call and see if they would at least send her the recording.

Ms. [VICTIM #1]’s friend [WITNESS #2] then sent her a voice recording that was approximately forty seven minutes long. At approximately forty three minutes you can here a male yelling about his phone then you hear a gun shot. You then here the females talking about how they just got shot at.

I then informed Ms. [VICTIM #1] to stay where she was at and went to Deputy Harrison’s location. I then spoke with Mr. Parker and informed that there was a recording of the incident and asked if he had fired a weapon. He stated that he did not and he did not have a gun out.

I then asked [WITNESS #1] to speak with me. He stated that he never heard a gun shot. While I was speaking with Mr. [WITNESS #1], Mr. Parker admitted to Deputy Harrison about firing the gun into the ground.

While Deputy Harrison was placing Mr. Parker in custody, Mr. [WITNESS #1] took me into the residence to get the firearm. The firearm was located under the sink in the kitchen, in a gun case. I then secured the weapon and took the magazine out and placed the firearm in my patrol vehicle.

I then went back to Ms. [VICTIM #1] and had her describe the firearm to me and she stated it was a black pistol like one in the military. She also stated it was possible a 45. caliber. I then showed her the firearm and she stated that it was the gun he was holding and fired.
