From Bryan County Sheriff ’s Office reports.

DUI-alcohol, more: A deputy driving east on I-16 around 2:40 a.m. Aug. 19 noticed “a purple in color SUV traveling in the right lane with two other cars behind it at a low rate of speed,” so he got over into the right lane and paced the car to determine how slow it was going. 

It was going 35 mph, five mph below the minimum speed limit on the interstate. With no hazard lights on. The deputy pulled the purple SUV over and talked to the 31-year-old driver, who said she didn’t have a license and handed the deputy a passport from Mexico. The woman smelled of alcohol and told the deputy she’d had “about 12 drinks.” She agreed to take a breath test and blew a .176, the report said. She was arrested, etc. 

DUI-drugs, failure to maintain lanes: A 57-year-old woman who was pulled over Aug. 19 on Highway 280 near the Hyundai Metaplant for failing to stay in her lane appeared to be under the influence of something.

The deputy noted the woman had “pinpoint pupils, red droopy eyelids and slow speech that at times was slurred.” She also “had dried ramen noodles all over her shirt that she appeared to not notice.”

She told the deputy she was going to “the industrial site,” and “was just being nosy,” the report said, and admitted to taking medications for anxiety and depression. She also was wearing a leg brace and said she’d been in an accident.

She failed a field sobriety test and was arrested and taken to jail.

Matter of record: A deputy was sent to a Highway 144 address on Aug. 21, where a woman said her neighbor “had placed a camera in their tree and was aiming it at her house.” The complainant showed the deputy the camera, which he saw “in the tree but was unable to determine exactly what the camera was pointing at due to the glare.”

The deputy then went next door and spoke to the woman, “who advised that it was a deer camera and was faced towards the fence to make sure there was no more damage to her fence. The deer camera was lowered so it wouldn’t appear that it was pointing at (the complainant’s) house.”

There was more. “(The woman) advised me that (the complainant) has a camera on the dock pointed at her house,” the report continued, adding, “After locating the camera it turned out to be a solar light.”

The complainant got a case number.

An earlier report from Aug. 18 noted the above neighbors have been involved in an ongoing dispute, including one neighbor “deliberately pointing a boombox directly at (the other’s) property and leaving as they know they will call the cops on them.” The complainant in that report wanted the latest incident documented so she could take it to court.

Theft: A man reported Aug. 18 he met with a woman on Facebook about buying a vehicle, and they agreed on a price and tp meet at his job in Richmond Hill to seal the deal.

“Victim advised that when the offender arrived she was driving the vehicle and a unknown male subject was in the passenger seat (and) exited the vehicle. Victim advised that the male subject advised he would handle the transaction for the offender, bill of sale and $2,250 was exchanged and they departed ways,” a report said.

“Victim advised that he took the provided paperwork to the tag office to apply for a title and register the vehicle and learned that Title Max in Savannah had a lien on the vehicle.” He called the title pawn company and they said the vehicle would have to be repoed and he could not legally register the vehicle. The man said he tried to contact the woman he’d bought the car from and was blocked.

He told BCSO he just wanted his money back but would press charges if he had to.

Simple battery: Deputies were sent to an Ellabell address around 1 a.m. Aug. 20 where a woman claimed she was assaulted by a 57-year-old woman.

The complainant said was asked “to come inside to sit with the owner of the residence, (complainant) tried to exit the RV parked at the residence and was attacked by (the 57-year old woman). (Complainant) stated that (the woman) bit her, smacked her, and pushed her.”

The complainant said she wanted to press charges. A deputy saw a cut on her wrist she claimed came from (the 57-year-old woman) biting her.” The deputy noted there were no teeth marks.

He then talked to the 57-year-old woman, who said when the complainant was asked to help the home owner, “something happened and tea was spilt all over her and the RV.” She denied having any physical contact with the complainant.

Warrant procedures through magistrate court were explained to the complainant.
