On 16 December 2025 at 1500hrs, I, MPO D. Scott, #3998, responded in non-emergency to the address of [1000 BLOCK] W Slaton Ave, which is located within the City of Griffin, Spalding County GA, in response to Domestic Already Occurred.
Upon my arrival, I met with the complainant, later identified as Mrs. [VICTIM #1]. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] advised that she was assaulted the previous evening by her husband, identified as Mr. Glenn Walker. She added that this has happened before, however, that this time he’d gone too far. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] stated, “He said he was going to kill me. I believe if I don’t report him he’s actually going to do it.”
Mrs. [VICTIM #1] had multiple bruise marks on her face, in the front, on her forehead area, under the chin, and what appeared like hand marks around the left and right side of her neck/throat. In addition to these markings she still had the same clothing on her, which was covered with blood from the approximate midsection downward.
Ptl. Ofc. T. Weldon, #4072 arrived on scene as Shift-CSI to take pictures of Mrs. [VICTIM #1] and a clear, visible blood trail from the living room into the kitchen. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] sustained cuts and bruises also along the inside of her arm and fingers.
Once Ofc. Weldon completed taking all pictures needed for this report, Mrs. [VICTIM #1] was given the case # to this report. She was advised that warrants were going to filed against Mr. Walker for Battery Family Violence at the very least. She was encouraged to leave the house and contact 911, should Mr. Walker return to the residence. Mrs. [VICTIM #1] acknowledged that she understood and both Ofc. Weldon and I resumed our patrol duties.
As I arrived to the Police Department to obtain the warrants against Mr. Walker, I was informed that Mr. Walker had returned to the residence.
I immediately returned to the scene and updated dispatch. Ofc. Weldon also arrived on scene to provide back-up. After knocking on the front door, Mr. Walker opened the door. I introduced myself and asked if we could speak outside for a moment.
Mr. Walker agreed to speak and proceeded to come outside. When asked if he would care to share what transpired between him and Mrs. [VICTIM #1] the evening before, Mr. Walker stated that while there was a verbal disagreement that, “did get out of hand a little.” After confirming that he did “push” his wife, Mr. Walker was advised that he was being placed under arrest for Battery, Family Violence. After searching Mr. Walker’s pockets for any weapons, he was handcuffed behind his back, handfuffs checked for fit, and walked over to my patrol unit.
Prior to Mr. Walker entering my patrol unit I read him his Miranda Rights which he confirmed he understood and waived. When asked how Mrs. [VICTIM #1] obtained the bruises/marks around her neck/throat he stated, “things got a little out of control and I may have grabbed her around the throat while there was some pushing going on.” I commended Mr. Walker for his honesty at which point he became emotional and stated that he needed help.
I proceeded to assist Mr. Walker into my patrol unit and advised dispatch that he was being transported to the Spalding County Jail, where he was processed without further incident.
Warrants were obtained and signed this date for Aggravated Assault, Strangulation (Family Violence); Battery (Family Violence); and 911 Obstruction (Family Violence). These warrants were signed by Judge Sam Parks.
All pictures were logged into the Police Sharedrive by Ofc. Weldon, identified by this case#.
My department issued bodyworn camera was active during this incident until after I read Mr. Walker his rights. Ofc. Weldon’s department issued bodyworn camera remained active during the entire incident.

Case History:
3/10/26
DEFENSE FILES PRELIMINARY MOTIONS IN SUPERIOR COURT OF SPALDING COUNTY
What this means: Attorney William Imhoff filed a package of pretrial motions on behalf of Glenn Dwayne Walker in Spalding County Superior Court under Case No. 26R-70 SLB. These motions are standard legal requests made before a trial begins. They included a Motion for Discovery — asking the prosecution to hand over all evidence it plans to use — a Brady v. Maryland motion requiring the state to disclose any evidence that could help the defense, and a Motion to Suppress Statements, asking the court to block any admissions or confessions Walker may have made from being used at trial. Filing these motions early puts the prosecution on notice that the defense intends to challenge the evidence and demand full transparency from the state.

ARRAIGNMENT WAIVED — GLENN DWAYNE WALKER ENTERS NOT GUILTY PLEA
What this means: On March 26, 2026, Glenn Dwayne Walker, represented by attorney William Imhoff, signed a Waiver of Arraignment in Spalding County Superior Court. Rather than appearing in open court for a formal arraignment — where charges are read aloud and a plea is entered in person — Walker waived that process and entered a not guilty plea on all counts through this written document. The waiver was filed in open court the same day and signed by both Walker and attorney Imhoff. This is a routine step that saves court time while preserving all of Walker’s legal rights.
3/26/26
BOND DENIED — WALKER ORDERED HELD WITHOUT BOND
What this means: On the same date as the arraignment, a Spalding County Superior Court judge issued an order denying bond for Glenn Dwayne Walker. This means Walker was not released from custody while his case was pending — he remained held in jail. Bond can be denied when a court finds that a defendant poses a danger to the community or a flight risk, among other reasons.
