On September 4, 2024
at approximately 1212 hours I (Officer Crawford) was dispatched non emergent to 517 sixth street for a disturbance at the Quick Stop.
Upon arrival/1 activated my department issued body camera and made with a Walter Abrams who was being very loud and cursing at the store clerk. I then identified myself as a police officer and asked Abrams to calm down lower his voice and stop using the profanity several times. He refused to lower his voice and stop the profanity so he was taken in to custody for Disorderly Conduct city ordnance C074-4. Abrams was cuffed to the rear and double locked then placed into the back of a pre ed patrol car. I then transported Abrams to the Burke County Detention Center for booking.
