On 07/25/2024
around 1200 hours, while working uniformed patrol in a marked unit I, Officer Kite, responded to 2801 Montgomery Street, “Shiv’s.” in reference to a trespasser. Dispatch advised that a black male wearing a white shirt and black pants was on the property of 2801 Montgomery Street and he has been banned from this location previously. See CRN 191119046.
Upon arrival, I saw the male that was wearing a white shirt and black pants. I identified the male as Mr. Ernest Bailey. I told him to come here and he started walking towards me. I asked him why we got called here for him. When I asked him that question, he started talking incoherently. He did admit that he was peeing in the lane but not on the building.
The owner of the store stated that he saw him pull his pants down, which exposed his genitals, and began urinating on the property near the front door.
As Officer Demand was talking to the store owner, Mr. Bailey began walking away from me, after I told him he was being detained. I placed him in double locked handcuffs and placed him in my patrol car.
The store owner stated he wanted to press charges for the trespassing and the public indecency.
I also charge him with obstruction. Officer Demand transported him to the Chatham County Detention Center and booked him on the above charges.
