On September 30, 2024
, at 1900 hours Officer Luis Rodriguez (122) responded to 418 Jackson St (BP Gas Station) regarding a domestic violence call.
On Arrival, I met with VICTIM who stated that she came down from Atlanta to give Gary Ross (Arrested) a ride and to help him out. [VICTIM ] stated that when she arrived at Pitt St Park Ross got in her vehicle and that’s when he started to argue with her. [VICTIM ] stated that they both got out of the car and that’s when Ross started to get angry and tried to charge at her. [VICTIM ] stated that she then feared for her life and pulled out her pocket knife to try to defend herself. [VICTIM ] stated that Ross started to fight with her trying to get the knife from her causing Ross to cut her with the knife. [VICTIM ] stated that she then got back in her vehicle and left the scene and called the police. [VICTIM ] stated that she would like to press charges.
While still on scene Ross arrived on scene and we asked him what happened and he stated that nothing had happened. After we advised him that we had evidence that something had happened Ross began to get angry. Ross then stated that the only thing that happened was just an argument. I asked Ross if they ever lived together and he stated “Yes that’s my fiance”. I then proceeded to place Ross in custody for Aggravated Assault Family Violence.
During the time of the call, both parties were interviewed. I observed a laceration to [VICTIM ]’s posterior side of her right hand. Sgt. Salyer (112) was also on the scene and observed the laceration to her hand. Pictures were not taken of the injuries but were recorded with Sgt Salyers BWC. I called EMS to the scene and McDuffie County Med 3 arrived on scene and checked [VICTIM ]’s hand. [VICTIM ] refused transport to the hospital and stated that she was going to drive herself to the hospital. Ross was then transported to the Mcduffie County Jail and booked in for the charge. Sgt. Salyer stated that when they arrived on the scene at the Jail Ross stated “I didn’t mean to cut her”. A warrant was applied and obtained for the charge of Aggravated Assault. The warrant was then taken to records and was served and put in the system.
