On Saturday, August 10, 2024, at approximately 1217 hours, I responded to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] in reference to an assault. Dispatch told me that the daughter, now known to me as Kodi Thompson, had struck her mother, now known to me as [REDACTED BY AGENCY], in the eye. On the way to the residence, dispatch advised me that Kodi Thompson had left the residence in a white in color Honda sedan displaying Georgia tag of [REDACTED].
While enroute, the vehicle matching that description passed me on Cecil Hunter Road. Sargent Mills turned around and stopped the vehicle. See Sargent Mill’s supplemental for more information.
I arrived at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and spoke to [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] told me that her daughter had been told to leave last night. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then said that her and her boyfriend, now known to me as [WITNESS #1], heard the A/C going on in the RV this morning. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then told me that Kodi came into the house, breaking the door latch to the storm door, cussing and bad mouthing her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then said that Kodi grabbed her by the arms and spit in her eyes. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then said that Kodi let go of her and went out to the RV. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] said that she went into the RV to tell Kodi to get her things and leave. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then said that she grabbed Kodi’s hand purse and then Kodi put her in a choke hold with her arms around her neck. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] said she somehow got out of it but doesn’t remember how she did. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] then said she got out of the RV to get away from Kodi.
I then spoke to [WITNESS #1]. [WITNESS #1] told me that he saw the altercation that happened inside the house. [WITNESS #1] told me that Kodi came into house and when she did, she broke the door latch to the storm door. [WITNESS #1] then said that Kodi was cussing at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and called her a “f-ing bit*h”. [WITNESS #1] then told me that Kodi grabbed [REDACTED BY AGENCY] by the arms and spit in her eyes. [WITNESS #1] told me that Kodi told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] that she didn’t want to hurt her. [WITNESS #1] then said that Kodi let go of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and went outside of the house and to the RV. [WITNESS #1] said that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] went to the RV where Kodi was but didn’t know what happened in there. [WITNESS #1] then said [REDACTED BY AGENCY] came back into the house, out of breath and was on the phone with dispatch. [WITNESS #1] said he saw a bruise on [REDACTED BY AGENCY] left forearm and red marks on her neck.
Kodi was placed under arrest, with her hands behind her back, checked for comfort and double locked. Kodi was then transported to Newnan Piedmont hospital by Sargent Mills for medical attention for injuries sustained in a use of force. I then came to Newnan Piedmont hospital. I mirandized Kodi and she understood her rights. I asked Kodi what happened today. Kodi said that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] came into the RV and started throwing her things out of the RV. Kodi said she told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to keep throwing things out because she had pint up anger. Kodi then said that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] grabbed her hand purse. Kodi said that she told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to put it down. Kodi said that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] started throwing stuff at her. Kodi then said she put [REDACTED BY AGENCY] in a head lock as self-defense.
Kodi and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] are related as mother and child. I observed a bruise on her left forearm, red marks all along her left arm, and a cut on her left calf. I advised [REDACTED BY AGENCY] of remedies and filled out a victim notification page for her.
I then transported Kodi to the Coweta County Jail.
