[NARRATIVE #1 on April 16, 2026]

On April 16, 2026, at approximately 2352 hours, I, Deputy Lewis #3631 was dispatched to a business at the 1000 block of Jordan Drive, regarding a physical altercation that already occurred.

Upon arrival, I made contact with the manager (victim) and two other employees (witness #1 and witness #2). The victim was applying pressure to his left arm with what appeared to be paper towels. Both of his hands were blood stained, and his left arm had blood running down it. The victim is a manager at another location; however, on this date he was the manager at this specific location.

The victim stated that he went over to the offender (another employee) while he was doing the dishes and told him to hurry up; because the offender was supposed to get off at 0000 hours. The victim stated that the offender allegedly got mad and that is when he told the offender to clock out and go home. According to the victim, the offender then threw two pans at him. Both pans allegedly made contact with the victim. The victim claimed that the first pan made contact with him and his can, so it did not cut him. However, the victim put his arm up when the second pan was thrown and that pan made contact his arm (ultimately leading to the laceration on the inside of his left arm).

The victim claimed that after this occurred, the offender proceeded out the kitchen door. The laceration appeared deep and was in need of stitches. With my experience, the severity of the laceration will most likely cause permanent scarring.

While speaking with the victim, National EMS arrived at the scene, and treated the victim. When the paramedics removed the paper towels from the victims arm, I observed a laceration to the inside of the victims left arm. The laceration was still actively bleeding when I observed the paramedics removing the paper towels from the victims arm. The victim informed me that no one on scene would be able to provide us with video footage of the incident. Therefore, I was informed that we would need to contact their corporate office to obtain the video footage.

The victim claimed that he wanted to press charges on the offender. The victim was later issued a case card regarding the incident and transported to a nearby hospital for further treatment. Due to the exigency of treating the victims wound, I was unable to photograph his injury at the scene. Due to this, I instructed the victim to have a nurse take a photograph of his laceration and email it to me, once he got to the hospital. The photographs of the laceration have been attached to this report for further processing.

After speaking with the victim, I spoke with witness #1. The first witness claimed that the manager was making something on the board and that is when he turned around and asked the offender if he was okay. According to the first witness, the offender did not respond. Instead, the offender allegedly went back to work. Around twenty to thirty minutes later, the manager asked the offender once again if he was okay. The first witness stated that he could not hear what was being said from where he was at; however, he could see the offenders lip moving.

The first witness claimed that the offender then picked up a pan and threw it, before picking up another pan and throwing it. Both pans allegedly made contact with the victim. The first witness claimed that he then saw the offender walk out the kitchen door. The first victim described the offender as being a six-foot-three, black male, with a short black Afro-hairstyle. He stated that the offender was wearing a black collared shirt, blue jeans, and black work shoes.

I then spoke with witness #2. The second witness stated that he was about to take an order. He claimed that he turned around and witnessed an altercation between the victim and the offender. The second witness claimed that he heard the victim tell the offender to go home and not worry about it. He claimed that is when the offender got mad and began throwing pans at the victim, before running out the door. The second witness stated that the offender was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans. The second witness claimed that offender drives a white Scion sedan (missing a right-side mirror).

There was allegedly another witness; however, they were no longer on scene at the time of my arrival. Prior to our arrival, the scene had already been tampered with (cleaned up). Deputy Haag was able to photograph the scene, while I obtained witness statements.

Another manager arrived at the scene and provided me with the third witness’s information, as well as the offender’s name. The second manager and both witnesses were issued a case card regarding the incident. Due to not being able to review video footage at the scene, and the offender not being at the scene, the investigation will be turned over to Oconee County Investigations for further processing.

On the morning of April 17, 2026, I, Deputy Lewis #3631 contacted the on call, Oconee County Sheriff’s Office criminal investigator, and informed them of the incident that occurred on April 16, 2026, at the 1000 block of Jordan Drive.

The on call investigator instructed me to go ahead swear warrants to an Oconee County Magistrate Judge; while that they obtain the video footage from the business. After speaking with the on call investigator, I contacted an Oconee County Magistrate Judge. On the morning of April 17, 2026, warrants were sworn to an Oconee County Magistrate Judge for Enosedeba Ivbaze, for Aggravated Battery.
