On September 9, 2024
, at approximately 1703 hours, I Ofc. Dessin (4722) with the Hiram Police Department, was dispatched to [300 BLOCK] Greystone Pkwy Hiram, GA 30141. The call was in reference to a domestic dispute. Upon my arrival, I met with Amaya Young (Complainant/ Offender/ Arrested).
Amaya stated that at around 1630 hours, her family had arrived from a vacation. Amaya stated that when they arrived she had gone into the residence to grab a kitchen knife and put it in her waistband due to feeling uncomfortable around her father, VICTIM . Amaya stated that when she returned to the vehicle to get her bags from the vacation, she noticed that [VICTIM ] was holding her bag and told him to let go of her bag. Amaya stated that an argument arose between the two and her mother had to get in between Amaya and [VICTIM ]. Amaya advised me that [VICTIM ] then continued to walk towards her using vulgar language and she pulled the knife and brandished it towards him causing the knife to strike and cut [VICTIM ]’s abdomen. Amaya advised me that the family has had many disputes and incidents.
Ofc. Williamson (4719) then spoke to [VICTIM ] and he advised that, after arriving from the vacation he was removing bags from the vehicle and he accidentally grabbed Amaya’s bag. [VICTIM ] stated that Amaya told him to put her bag down and began using vulgar language towards him and an argument arose. [VICTIM ] stated that his wife got in between them to diffuse the situation and Amaya brandished the knife towards him and cut him. [VICTIM ] received a small cut to his abdomen and declined any medical treatment. Pictures of the injury were taken and attached to the file.
I placed Amaya into handcuffs, checking for proper fit and double-locking them. I then ed her for contraband and after dispatch confirmed the warrant, I explained to her that she was being placed under arrest for Aggravated Assault FVA. I placed her in the back of my patrol vehicle with all safety restraints fastened and transported her to the Paulding County Detention Center.
