, Ofc. Jump, and I, Ofc. Hess, were dispatched to [100 BLOCK] Ashford Pk. in reference to an assault. Upon arrival, we met with the victim, [VICTIM ]. Ms. [VICTIM ] was at her neighbor’s house for her safety. She was sitting on the couch next to her neighbor with only a blanket around her. She advised she would like to go at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] since she did not have any clothes on.
Upon arrival at [REDACTED BY AGENCY], I observed that the couch was pushed back as if there was a struggle that had taken place. Nothing else in the area seemed out of place. Ms. [VICTIM ] was visibly shaken.
Ms. [VICTIM ] advised on this date around 0700 hours this date, she and a friend, Calvin Franklin, were standing in the living room having a conversation. During the conversation, Mr. Franklin got upset, stood up, and grabbed Ms. [VICTIM ] by the shoulders while shouting at her. He then pushed her down to the couch and walked towards the kitchen. Ms. [VICTIM ] advised Mr. Franklin that he needed to get out of her house. Mr. Franklin advanced towards Ms. [VICTIM ] and placed both his hands around her neck and started squeezing. She advised while he was choking her that she could not breathe. While he was choking her, he stated “you are not in control.”
After he choked her, he walked in the kitchen to retrieve an item, then walked to the back bedroom. This moment is when Ms. [VICTIM ] left the residence and ran to the neighbor’s house at [100 BLOCK] Ashford Park. Mr. Franklin departed the residence in a white Audi Sedan with an unknown disabled veteran tag headed north on I-75. Mr [VICTIM ] is described as a white male, 6’0 in height, and weighing 290 pounds.
While on scene, Ms. [VICTIM ] advised Mr. Franklin lives at [100 BLOCK] Gant Quarters Ct., Marietta, GA.

She attempted to have a conversation with him and it turned in to an argument. During the arguement, Ms. [VICTIM ] advised him to leave her residence. Mr. Franklin advised he left the residence and nothing was physical.
Ms. [VICTIM ] had visible red marks on her neck consistent with a hand being placed around her throat in an attempt to strangle her.
Photos of the couch and Ms. [VICTIM ]’s neck will be attached to this report. Ms. [VICTIM ] was provided a case number and was advised on how to retrieve a copy of this report.
Due to the victim testimony and evidence at the scene, I will be seeking warrants for Mr. Calvin for aggravated assault – strangulation on the next available date.
