On the date of 6/9/24 at approximately 1806 hours, I was dispatched to [2800 BLOCK] Cleburne Pkwy. in reference to an assault where there were warrants taken for a subject that was not placed in custody due to the subject leaving the scene before law enforcement arrived.
Upon arrival, I met with the complainant, [REDACTED] who stated that a white male that was bloody by the hands came up to her door. The male told her to he lives in the camper behind the house next door and told her to call 911 because there was a female getting beaten up by her boyfriend. The male then went back to his camper so she called 911 because she did not know what was going on.
Myself and other deputies then went next door to [2500 BLOCK] Cleburne Pkwy. towards the camper and saw a male who was identified as [VICTIM ] and I saw that his left hand was bloody so I asked him if he was okay and if he needed a metro unit to check on him but he refused several times. I then asked [VICTIM ] what happened and he stated that he was outside his camper and there was a less couple hanging out there with him. [VICTIM ] stated that he knew the male as Michael Corcoran but did not know the females name and they were having a verbal argument. The argument then escalated and it turned physical to where the female was on the ground and Michael was kicking her. [VICTIM ] then intervened and told him to stop and that’s when Michael pulled out a pocket knife from his pocket and lunged forward at [VICTIM ] and cut him on his left hand. [VICTIM ] then stated that he ran to the neighbor’s house and told her to call 911. After telling her to call 911, he went back over to Michael and his girlfriend but they were gone so he just waited for law enforcement.
[VICTIM ] stated that they both possibly could have fled through the woods so myself and other deputies ed for a brief time through the woods but did not make with Michael or his girlfriend. I then ed the previous history at the incident location to look for a Michael Corcoran so that I could have his date of birth as well as a picture. I found a name of Michael Corcoran with a date of birth of [REDACTED BY AGENCY]/1984 and ed it through my computer and I was able to get a picture pop up. I also saw that Michael already has an active warrant out of Paulding County. I then took a picture of Michael’s license picture and showed it to [VICTIM ] and asked him if that was Michael that attacked him and he stated that it was and he wanted to press charges.
I informed [VICTIM ] that charges will be taken on Michael for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. After ing more for previous history on Michael I saw that the last known address was [100 BLOCK] South Lake Dr. so myself and 2 other deputies went out to that location to see if we could make but we had negative and so deputies went back in service. Pictures were taken of [VICTIM ]’s injuries and they will be attached to this report
