On September 16, 2025 I was dispatched along with Ofc G Castillo to [REDACTED BY AGENCY], for a welfare check on [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] had called 911, and had requested help due to a male in her back yard burning her hammock.

Once on scene, I noticed the male, later identified as Trymaine Quinn, in the front parking area asking for a boost for his vehicle, a silver Cherolet Malibu Ga tag: [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. I told him that could wait for a few minutes. I then met [VICTIM #1] as she came outside to meet me in the driveway. [VICTIM #1] stated that Quinn had set a fire in the yard to the rear of the apartment building and that he had burnt a hole in her hammock. She then showed me the fire, which had just been extinguished and was still smoldering. I noticed the fire had a large limb laying in it and had only one end of it burnt to a char. The hammock had a hole approximately the same size as the end of the limb in the center of it.

Upon further examination, the limb had pieces of melted nylon material stil on around it where the material had melted and stuck to the limb. [VICTIM #1] stated that she didn’t see Quinn set the fire but seen him at the fire. She stated that she confronted him and he replied that she didn’t own the property so she could not tell him what to do. She stated that she wished to press charges because she is tired of Quinn damaging her things. She claims that a screen door was damaged by Quinn, but had no proof of that incident.

After speaking with [VICTIM #1], I spoke with Quinn. Quinn admitted to setting the fire, but would not speak about the hammock. He acted as though he didn’t know there was a hammock near the location of the fire. Ofc Castillo pointed out that there was another large stick located by the vehicle, and that the end of it was charred as well. Due to the size of the limb being too large to have fallen into the fire and then bounced up the hillside to the hammock location, and the identification of Quinn as the person responsible for the fire and having been seen leaving the fire, I placed Quinn under arrest for arson. Quinn offered no explanation as to why the hammock was damaged.

Upon searching him incident to arrest, I found a capped hyperdermic needle in Quinn’s left front pocket of his pants. The item was photographed and placed in a sharp objects disposal container in the P&E building.

I then placed Quinn in the back seat of my patrol car and secured him with a seatbelt. He had no medical conditions to inform the jail of. I then transported Quinn to the wcso jail. Once at the jail, I secured my weapon in my patrol car lock box. I delivered Quinn and the other possessions to the jail staff. I completed a warrant affidavit and swore before judge Thomas Phillips to the validity of the warrant. I received my warrant and delivered the original warrant(W25-1537)for the charge of 16-7-62 arson 3rd degree (F), to the jail where I served and stamped and signed it. Along with the warrant I included the charge of 16-13-32 possession of drug related objects on citation number 607170 to the jail staff along with the criminal history of Quinn.

Before leaving the jail, I checked my back seat of my patrol car and retrieved my weapon.
