On 09/07/24 around 0925 hours, I, Officer Buck, responded to [1000 BLOCK] E 31st St in regards to a man performing lewd acts on the complainant’s front porch.
The description I was given prior to my arrival was that the suspect was a black male in a red tracksuit.
When I arrived on scene, I observed the male, later identified as Troy Simmons, sitting on the bench on the front porch of [1000 BLOCK] E 31st St. I proceeded to ask Mr Simmons if he lived there, in which he stated he did not. I then asked him why he was there and he stated he was using the Wifi. While speaking with Mr Simmons, I observed a doorbell camera facing the direction of where he had been sitting. I detained Mr Simmons by placing him into handcuffs, checking them for fit, and double locking them. I then had Ofc Hunter stay with him while I made with the owner, [VICTIM ]. Ms [VICTIM ] was able to provide video footage of the events.
The video shows Mr Simmons sitting on the bench on the front porch with his pants down and his genitals in his hand, mast*rbating.
Mr Simmons was placed under arrest for Public Indecency (OCGA 16-6-8). Mr Simmons was ed and then placed into the back of my patrol vehicle.
Ms [VICTIM ] was given a case report number card and an Axon Capture link to upload the video to Evidence.com.
I then transported Mr Simmons to Chatham County Detention Center to be booked.
