On 06-24-2025 I was advised by a concerned citizen that a vehicle had wrecked at the intersection of 5th Street and main Street. At 2338 hours I found the vehicle wrecked into a parked vehicle in the Railway bed store parking lot. The vehicle that was parked is owned by Railway bed company. It was a white 2019 Isuzu panel truck bearing Georgia tag [REDACTED]. The vehicle that wrecked into it was a silver 2010 Buick Lucerne. No one was in this vehicle. At the same time Officer Boyett came over the radio and said there was an incident at the police department, and he was chasing a subject on foot. He caught the person. It was Albert Jackson.
Officer Woods brought Jackson to me and said that Jackson said he was driving the vehicle. Jackson had the keys to the Buick Lucerne in his pocket. I open the door of Officer Woods patrol car and asked him his name. He told me Albert Jackson and stated that he had not done anything. I told him that he did. He replied, “I crashed”. I could smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage about him. His speech was slurred. He was talking with a thick tongue. His eyes were glassy and bloodshot. He appeared to be extremely intoxicated. I advised him that he was under arrest for D.U.I. He was read implied consent for a person over 21. He stated that he would take the breath test if I wanted him to. I told him that it was his decision to make, not mine. He then said that he did not really want to. I asked him to clarify that with either a yes or no to taking the test. He said no. It was discovered that his license was suspended. I found in plain view an open bottle of Taylor Port wine in the floor of the passenger side. The bottle was cold and half empty. Officer Woods transported him to the Tift County Jail. B.B.’s wrecker service towed the vehicle.
