On October 13th, 2024
, at approximately 02:25 hours I (Ofc. Deen) responded to a call at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Green St Vidalia Ga, 30474 in reference to an unruly juvenile.
On arrival, I met a Juvenile who stated her mother Susan Miller had called about her and then led me into the where Susan was located. Susan told me her daughter had been cursing at her and disrespecting her in her own . Susan said she barricaded herself in her room because her juvenile tried to attack her for taking her phone away from her. Susan said she called us because she wanted a report done on her juvenile due to being advised by the juvenile Probation officer to call Vidalia Police Department. The Juvenile stated her mother took her phone for no reason and threatened her with scissors. The Juvenile stated her dad paid for the phone and the mother had no right to take the phone.
I advised them that the juvenile was under the care of the mother, and it would be a civil matter. I explained to the juvenile that though we do not like how things are done we have to do as we are told. I explained that if the situation progressed, they needed to record it so we could determine who was the predominant aggressor. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] who were in the living room asked how can they record without a pnone? I asked them if they had a Phone, and they responded they had two phone so I told then to use one to record and the other top call the Police.
As I was leaving the residence [REDACTED BY AGENCY] informed me she had an audio recording of the mother having scissors. I listened to the recording, and I heard Susan Miller being the Predominant aggressor towards the Juvenile. “Susan States who is going to stop her in the recording and then the Juvenile says hey hold on what are you doing with scissors?” The Juvenile tells Susan to “leave me alone”, Susan states “no get the Fuk up out my house before I hurt you.” Juvenile states “I’m trying to, but you won’t move”, get the fuk away from me with scissors, damn, move.” Susan continues to argue with the juvenile making provoking statements calling the juvenile “bruh” at one point Susan chuckles and laughs in the audio recording.
The Juvenile makes it clear she wants to be left alone but Susan continues cursing and provoking the Juvenile to the point she is crying, and Susan makes a comment about the upset Juvenile crying. At this time, I determined Susan was the predominant aggressor. I asked Susan about the recording, and she admit to having a small pair of silver in color Scissors because she needed them for safety. Susan said that is why she barricaded herself in the room. Susan made it out to be she had scissors in an act of self defense but based off the recording I determined she was lying and placed Susan under arrest for Cruelty to Children in the 1st degree.
Susan was not ed Incident to arrest because I watched her change clothes, and I determined she had not contraband on her person. I ed her purse incident to arrest and placed Susan Miller in handcuffs to the rear double locking for safety. Susan was placed in the rear seat of my patrol unit and seat belted for safety. I transported Susan to the Toombs County Detention Center and released her to the on-duty staff members.
