On September 10, 2024
, at approximately 0052 hours, I was dispatched to 1016 Highway 80 (Motel 6), Pooler, Chatham County, GA, in reference to a fight call. The caller advised that his brother had just got hit in the head with a gun by Josh.
I arrived on scene and was able to located the caller, Mr. [VICTIM ], and the victim, Mr. [VICTIM ]. After speaking with both parties, I was able to determine the following. Several days ago their brother, Mr. [VICTIM ], had allowed Mr. Joshua Reddick to use his pickup truck. Mr. [VICTIM ] and Mr. Reddick are current long time residents of the motel. Mr. Reddick had been using the vehicle and at some point had got into a vehicle crash with it. Mr. [VICTIM ] and Mr. [VICTIM ] saw Mr. Reddick today at the motel and they decided to speak with him. They asked Mr. Reddick to return they key to Mr. [VICTIM ], so Mr. [VICTIM ] could go to the hospital. Mr. Reddick declined and they had a verbal argument. During the argument, things turned heated and Mr. Reddick and Mr. [VICTIM ] began to move towards each other. Mr. Reddick had a firearm during the altercation and threatened Mr. [VICTIM ] with it. Mr. [VICTIM ] described the firearm as a 9MM with a laser sight. All parties went back and forth a few more time and Mr. [VICTIM ] was struck in the back of his head. He was unsure what struck him, but Mr. Reddick left the scene after Mr. [VICTIM ] was struck.
Mr. [VICTIM ] had a injury to his head and Pooler Fire Department and Chatham EMS responded to the scene. Mr. [VICTIM ] ultimately declined transport by them. He also informed officers that he would like to press charges on Mr. Reddick. I explained warrant hearing procedures to Mr. [VICTIM ] and gave him a CRN card. I then allowed him to returned to his brother’s room at the motel (Room [REDACTED]).
While officers were still on scene, Mr. Reddick’s mother, Ms. Rozena Reddick, arrived on scene. She ignored officers and made her way to room [REDACTED]. It should be noted that Ms. Reddick is a house cleaner at this motel. She then used her master key and let herself into Mr. [VICTIM ]’s room. She began to yell at the two [VICTIMS] brothers and demanded to know why they call police on her son. Officers ended up removing her from the room and she was arrested.
Ofc. Dorsz read Ms. Reddick her Miranda Warning and she agreed to speak with officers. Ms. Reddick advised her son called her and told her that he was approached by Mr. [VICTIM ] and Mr. [VICTIM ]. Both brothers had pipes in their hands and went after them. She advised she came back to the motel and went into the room for the sole reason to confront the [VICTIMS] brothers. Ms. Reddick declined to tell officers were Mr. Reddick was and as such, I was unable to get his side of the story first hand.
