, I, Corporal Earl F. Wilson 07, was on duty with the Brunswick Police (BPD) Patrol A-2, Supervisor. I was in full BPD patrol uniform and equipped with a digital body-worn Axon camera. My vehicle for the day was the marked patrol truck 20-2.
At about 0500 hours, a sexual assault report had been filed with BPD. The incident took place outside of the Well at 1101 Gloucester Street. When the Well opened, the staff became aware of the incident and ed the police. The building security cameras were reviewed, and the incident had been recorded. A photograph of the suspect was provided to on-duty personnel.
Information was developed that the suspect may use StaffZone as a place of employment. At about 0826 hours, I spoke with the manager at StaffZone and showed her a photo of the suspect. She stated his name was Warren, and he was working at The Vintage Brunswick. The Vintage is located in unincorporated Glynn County, outside the city limits.
Additional information determined the suspect to be a WARREN SHOLL and that he is a registered sex offender for aggravated child molestation.
The on-call investigator was advised of the leads and the information that had been developed.
Based on the serious and violent nature of the alleged offense, the suspect appearing to be less or transient, and his past criminal history, myself and Sergeant Nolen determined the best course of action would be to proceed to the Vintage apartments and detain the suspect. I notified Glynn County Police watch commander Lt. Herndon 203.
After arrival at the Vintage at about 0857 hours, I was informed that the suspect was working in apartment [REDACTED]. I positioned myself at the stairwell and awaited other officers. While awaiting other officers, the suspect stepped out of the apartment and was on the telephone. I heard the suspect state, “One of the officers is out here.”
I then ordered the suspect to turn around and place his hands behind his back. He was handcuffed behind his back; the cuffs were double-locked and checked for fit. He was ed and turned over to Trainee Holt for transport to Criminal Investigations.
Later in the day, I was asked by CID to transport the suspect to the Glynn County Detention Center to be booked. He was handcuffed behind his back, ed, and seated in the right rear of the patrol vehicle. He was transported to Detention for processing. At Detention, arrest booking and victim’s notification were provided to detention deputies. WARREN was released to the custody of the Sheriff.
While the suspect was being booked, I asked him why he had stepped outside of the apartment and who he was talking to on the phone. He stated he had seen the Brunswick Police cars and called his brother, asking his brother if the police had been to their .
Axon’s body-worn camera was later uploaded to evidence.com, and all follow-ups were labeled under this report number.
