On 04/24/2025, at 1413 hours, I responded to [20 BLOCK] Balsam Drive in reference to a dispute.

Upon arrival, I observed two females, and one male standing outside the garage of the residence. The male, identified as Christopher Becker, was only wearing shorts and stating he was very intoxicated and had no idea why deputies were on scene. Christopher advised we needed to talk to the two females, his mother, [VICTIM #1], and girlfriend, [VICTIM #2]. Christopher then stated that he wanted to die, and was struggling with the death of his friend while they were in the military.

I spoke with [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] inside the residence away from Christopher because [VICTIM #2] was too scared to speak in front of him. [VICTIM #2] stated the following: Christopher lives with her, and he was staying at [VICTIM #1]’s house for a while. [VICTIM #2] had received a call from [VICTIM #1] asking her to take Christopher to a hotel because he was drinking too much and becoming violent. [VICTIM #2] advised Christopher knew he was getting picked up today and when [VICTIM #2] arrived, Christopher was refusing to get up and continued to look for alcohol. [VICTIM #2] was lying on the bed in Christopher’s room, as he was rummaging through items looking for a liquor bottle. Christopher was looking in his laundry basket and did not find the bottle. Christopher believed that [VICTIM #2] had taken the bottle. When Christopher could not find the bottle, he pushed [VICTIM #2] off the bed causing her to fall on her elbow leaving a red mark. [VICTIM #2] left the bedroom to speak with [VICTIM #1] about trying to get Christopher out of the residence. Christopher had threatened to kill both [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #2] called 911 for help when Christopher began breaking items in the living room. He had picked up the wooden coffee table and threw it against the ground causing it to break along with glass candy dishes that were on top. Christopher then had grabbed [VICTIM #1] by the wrist and was stating that he was going to kill his mother.

[VICTIM #2] told Christopher to let [VICTIM #1] go, and Christopher threw a flower pot from the kitchen counter into the sink, and broke the flower pot and sink faucet. He also threw [VICTIM #2]’s plate of food and water bottle down and punched her on the nose and mouth. Christopher had stated that [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] would be dead be before the cops arrived. Christopher then began throwing silverware out of the drawers and picked up a bread knife. [VICTIM #2] had told [VICTIM #1] to get out of the house. Christopher was waving the bread knife in front of [VICTIM #2] while she was on the phone with 911, and was approaching [VICTIM #2] with the bread knife as he pointed it at [VICTIM #2]. Christopher had asked [VICTIM #2] who she was on the phone with, and told her that if she put the phone down, that he would put the knife down. At one point, [VICTIM #2] did hang up the phone in order to get Christopher to put the knife down because she was scared, and then called 911 again. [VICTIM #2] advised that after he put the knife down, he had walked outside without wearing any clothes.

While [VICTIM #2] was on the phone with 911, the 911 operator could hear the male, Christopher, saying that he was going to kill [VICTIM #2] and his mother before the cops arrived. [VICTIM #2] had told the 911 Operator that Christopher did have a knife, and was telling Christopher to put the knife down, several times. Christopher then told [VICTIM #2] that if she put the phone down that he would put the knife down. The 911 operator also heard Christopher state, “you’re gonna die.”

When I spoke with [VICTIM #1], she was also shaken up, and did advised that Christopher had grabbed her by the wrist, but did not have any marks, but believed it would bruise later.

[VICTIM #1] advised that Christopher had been drinking for five days, and that she had not seen this kind of behavior from him. She advised in the past, he has been physical and has left bruises on her and [VICTIM #2], but has never made threats to kill them and use a knife. [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] have not called in the past, but did today because they were both scared and believed that Christopher would kill both of them because he was waving a knife in his hand. [VICTIM #1] did advise that Christopher had broken her candy dishes and other items, and that he had picked the wooden coffee table up and set it upright once he knew that the cops were on the way.

While I was inside speaking with [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1], other deputies were speaking with Christopher. Deputy Capes #945 had advised me that Christopher stated he was not suicidal, and was declining any medical attention because he was fine. Christopher had told deputies that he did not throw any items, and that [VICTIM #2] had broken the items inside.

I requested the audio recorded 911 call from dispatch. I advised Christopher he was under arrest. I placed Christopher in handcuffs, checked the handcuffs for fit, and double-locked them. Deputy Hambrick #1247 transported Christopher to the Paulding County Detention Center.

Both [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #1] provided statements regarding the incident. [VICTIM #2] did not have any red marks on her face where she was punched by Christopher, but she did have a red mark on her elbow from where Christopher had pushed her off the bed.

I secured warrants on Christopher Becker for Terroristic Threats X2, Aggravated Assault, Battery, Simple Battery, and Criminal Trespass- Damage less than $500. The jail was notified of the suicidal statements that Christopher had initially made on scene and to be placed on a suicide watch.

Images will and the 911 audio call will be uploaded to the I-Drive.
