On August 18, 2024 at 2050 hours, I, Sgt Hooper, was dispatched to [300 BLOCK] High Street in reference to a subject screaming outside. Upon officer’s arrival to the residence, we heard Matthew Britt screaming and cussing in his front yard.
Upon meeting with Britt, he began talking about his neighbor’s raping him and filling him full of fluids while he is sleeping. Britt also advised his power was being stolen by his neighbors along with his wireless internet. It is important to note that this is not the first time we (Tallapoosa PD) have been called to [300 BLOCK] High Street in reference to this same incident. Due to the breach of peace caused by Britt, I advised him to place his hands behind his back, and that he was under arrest for Disorderly Conduct. I placed Britt into handcuffs, and placed him into the rear of Officer Cox’s patrol car.
I then met with the complainant, [REDACTED], and she advised this was the second night in a row that Britt has been in his front yard screaming and cussing. She advised it keeps her up at night, and it is to the point to where her grandchildren cannot come to stay the night at her residence. I advised her that Britt was being taken to jail for the night.
Officer Cox transported Matthew Britt to the Haralson County Jail to be turned over to the jail staff. I secured a warrant on Matthew Britt for Disorderly Conduct.
