On August 21, 2024
, from 2200 to 0600 hours, I Ofc. Brister was assigned to Memorial Hospital on guard duty, looking over Mr. Rakym Williams.
At around 0420 hours, Mr. Williams was lying on his left side with a blanket covering him from his neck to his feet. Though because Mr. Williams’ left hand was handcuffed to the hospital bed and the way he was positioned, I noticed Mr. Williams was stocking his pnis and exposing it to view under the edge of the blanket. I asked Mr. Williams what he was doing and advised him to stop immediately. Mr. Williams responded that he was not doing anything. Mr. Williams was then additionally charged with public indecency ( O.C.G.A 16-6-8) for lewd exposure and fondling of his pnis in front of me.
My body-worn camera did not capture this interaction with Mr. Williams due to the situation happening quickly.
