On May 10, 2025, at 1818 hours, I was dispatched to Brookfield Mews, [90 BLOCK] Tifton Eldorado Road (Building [REDACTED]), within the corporate limits of Tifton, Tift County Georgia in reference to property damage.

Upon arrival, I contacted the complainant [VICTIM #1] who resided in apartment [REDACTED], and she stated that her neighbor Kisha Lamae Lawson had struck her vehicle while Lawson was parking her vehicle. [VICTIM #1] said that Lawson was intoxicated and was being belligerent towards [VICTIM #1] and her kids. While [VICTIM #1] was explaining to me what had occurred, Lawson started yelling and instigating [VICTIM #1] and her family from her upstairs apartment open window. Lawson continued to taunt [VICTIM #1]’s family next door using cuss words and laughing at them. I told Lawson while she was hanging out the window that I needed her identification and she said, “No” because she was at her place. Lawson said that she didn’t call the police and that she was in her apartment. I asked Lawson to come downstairs, and she said, “No,” and I advised her that if she did not come downstairs, I would have to arrest her for obstruction of my investigation.

Lawson came to the front door, and she said that she needed to get her keys from her car so that she could get her driver’s license. I told Lawson that I was investigating her striking [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle with her vehicle due to the gray transfer paint on [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle. Lawson said that she did not hit [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle with her vehicle and advised me that she would give me her driver’s license but that I could not get her identification. I told Lawson that I could not find any damage to her vehicle consistent with Lawson’s vehicle striking [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle. Lawson said really loud that [VICTIM #1] was just mad because [VICTIM #1] was fu*king her kid’s father and started yelling multiple times, “We don’t care.” I gave Lawson a verbal warning about her language and advised her that she would go to jail if she continued. Lawson asked me why and I told her that she was being disorderly, and she asked how? And stated that she lived there.

Lawson found her keys and we started walking back to her vehicle and Lawson looked at [VICTIM #1] and said that she (Lawson) had too much going on and that she (Lawson) had a N***** and started laughing. I cautioned Lawson again about her profanity and there being kids outside and that she was in the public and she laughed and said she knew. Lawson said that she was going to be honest with me and said that she did not like broke mother fu*kers. Lawson said that she didn’t like broke N***** and that she did not like broke men. Lawson kept saying it over and over and I kept cautioning her to stop saying the offensive comments. Lawson then said very loudly, “I don’t give a fu*k about a broke N*****.” I explained to Lawson that I was there to keep the peace and that she was not being peaceful.

I advised Lawson to go back to her apartment and relax. Lawson returned back to her apartment. Lawson kept being disruptive and I explained to her that she was being disorderly, and Lawson said that she was just being honest. I explained to her that it appeared as if she was trying to provoke a fight. Lawson returned to her apartment and cussed and taunted [VICTIM #1] and her family all the way inside. Lawson returned outside and advised me that she was leaving. Lawson kept escalating the situation, so I called for a backup unit to assist me.

I waited for Lawson to get her stuff and her kids so that they leave and Lawson opened up the upstairs window and yelled that she was staying and started taunting [VICTIM #1] and her family again. Despite being warned several times to calm down and stop being disorderly, Lawson’s disruptive behavior continued. Officer J. Haynes arrived on scene, and we entered Lawson’s residence, and I placed Lawson under arrest for Disorderly Conduct. I handcuffed Lawson to the rear, checking the cuffs for proper fit and double locking them. I escorted Lawson to my patrol unit and struggled with Lawson to get her in the backseat.

I transported Lawson to the Tift County Jail and issued Lawson Citation # 189A00070 for Disorderly Conduct (C046-61) and Lawson refused to sign the citation. Lawson was turned over to jail staff.

It was undermined if Lawson crashed into [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle. [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle had an area of gray paint transfer on the passenger side rear door. There was no damage on Lawson’s vehicle that that implied that it had been involved in a crash with [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle.
