On April 21, 2022, Austell police responded to an incident at Joe’s Bottle Shop liquor store, where a disruptive customer was causing chaos and attempting to engage in a physical altercation with an employee in Austell, Georgia.
Upon arrival, officers encountered a female suspect outside the store who immediately claimed that a white male employee had assaulted her.
According to her account, the dispute arose over a minor cash advance fee, escalating into a verbal altercation that turned physical when she confronted the employee behind the counter.
However, as officers delved deeper into the incident, a different narrative emerged from the store employees.
According to their version, the female suspect initiated the violence by attempting to strike the employee, who was forced to defend himself.
The situation escalated further when she seized bottles from the shelves, using them as weapons while threatening the employee with the involvement of her brother.
Video footage reviewed by the officers corroborated the employee’s account of the events.
Despite the evidence, the suspect vehemently insisted that she had only gone behind the counter to confront the employee and claimed self-defense.
She was subsequently arrested and charged with simple assault, simple battery, and criminal trespass with property damage under $500.
As her brother arrived to pick up her vehicle, tensions flared, leading to a heated argument with officers, resulting in the towing of the vehicle.
Adding an unexpected twist to the unfolding drama, another friend later approached officers seeking information about the car retrieval process.
However, the situation took a dangerous turn when, upon exiting the vehicle, he inadvertently dropped a firearm, creating a moment of heightened tension and concern for everyone involved.
