On July 12, 2024, I, D/S Weber, was dispatched to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] in reference to a subject armed.
Upon arrival, I made contact with Terry Manning and [WITNESS #1], who stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was picking on [WITNESS #1] and calling him names. Terry and [WITNESS #1] both stated that neither one of them pointed a pistol at [REDACTED BY AGENCY].
[REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that [WITNESS #1] was arguing with him in the carport, and Terry got in the middle of the two, smacked the cigarette out of his mouth, pointed a pistol at his face, and told [REDACTED BY AGENCY] “to kiss it.” [REDACTED BY AGENCY] stated that it was too dark to describe the gun, but it was clear that it was a pistol.
[WITNESS #1] came forward and stated that Terry did get in the middle of the two and pointed a BB Gun at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] face. [WITNESS #1] led CPL Teare to where they placed the BB Gun after everything happened.
Terry was placed under arrest and placed in the rear of my patrol vehicle. Terry was then transported to the Coweta County Jail, where he was turned over to the jail staff.
After speaking to all parties, Terry is being charged with Aggravated Assault, Simple Battery, and pointing and aiming a weapon.
