From STAFF REPORTS
CORDELE — Filing a report with city police about a relative’s failure to return a car she had loaned him led to the arrest of the complainant instead Monday morning.
Sgt. Robert Montgomery said he was on the way to the home of Coleshia Quinnette Jones, 26, at 702 23rd Ave. W., when he was radioed two messages.
The first one was that the vehicle in question had been returned. The second was that there was an outstanding warrant against Jones. He then continued to her residence where he took her into custody.
In other activity on Monday and early Tuesday, officers:
— Cited Avenia Stubbins, 40, of 802 18th Ave. W., for contempt of court when she failed to appear before the city court judge on a charge of allowing an animal to run at large.
Lt. Louis New said Stubbins later posted bond and was released.
— Arrested David Jones, 53, of 401 19th Ave. W., for public indecency.
Officer Chris Forsythe took Jones into custody after a Department of Family and Children Services employee said he came to that location, exposed himself and made a lewd remark to a case worker.
— Took Jason Ray Black, 22, of 206 Third St. S., into custody for shoplifting after employees of Wal-Mart told Lt. New they had caught him leaving the store without making payment for four steaks valued at $40.43.
— Mediated a disturbance in which two persons reportedly got into an argument over parking spots in the yard of a home in the 700 block of 23rd Ave. W.
One of the dispute participants armed herself with a bat and the other with a shovel. Officer Forsythe said he was told that both verbally threatened each other with those weapons before the male participant left the scene.
— Received a vandalism complaint from a resident of the 800 block of 12th St. N.
The complainant told Sgt. Charles Hill just before 7:30 p.m. that someone had thrown a rock through a front window at his residence. The complainant said teenage boys attempting to make contact with his granddaughter were responsible for the damage.
— Filed a trio of charges against one of three subjects reported to be loitering in the Hilltop Apartments complex on 24th Ave. W.
Cited for apprehension of a wanted person (he had two outstanding warrants pending through Arabi Municipal Court), loitering and disorderly conduct was Jamal J. Colson, 19, of 201 25th Ave. W.
Colson and another of the loiterers ran from the scene as Cpl. Jesse Barfield approached. Colson was later caught by Lt. Lloyd Anderson. The other two loiterers escaped arrest.
