Athens-Clarke County Police reports

ARRESTS
Officers responded to an entering auto that had just occurred at Domino’s Pizza, 529 Baxter St, around 11:50 a.m. on July 17. A Gaines School Road resident said he left his wallet inside his vehicle with the driver’s window down. A male came in the store to fill out a job application. During this time the victim saw another male peeping around the corner of the building. After the first male left, he checked his vehicle and found his wallet had been stolen. He saw the males in the lot next door and confronted them. They said they did not have his wallet and continued walking west bound. Their descriptions were given to responding officers and they were located on Baxter Street near Paris Street. When asked for identification, one of the males pulled out a credit card and that had the victim’s name on it. Both males were taken into custody and returned to the scene. The investigation revealed the stolen wallet was behind a business at Baxter and Milledge. Officers went to that location and recovered it. Credit cards were found at another unnamed location. Lejavaus Marcell Heard, 37, Baxter Drive, was arrested and charged with Entering Auto and Financial Transaction Card Theft. The second male was determined not to be involved in the theft and he was not charged.

Contact was made with a homeless man who said he was sitting on a wall at Hawthorne and Old Epps Bridge Road when he was approached by two males. He said the males attacked him and repeatedly punched him in the face. During this time his wallet was stolen. Burgess identified one suspect as “Bobby.” The investigation led officers to two males who, after questioning, were arrested. Jamel Malik Glenn, 42, W Broad Street, and Bobby G. Porter, 28, Hemlock Drive, were charged with Robbery and Aggravated Assault. Burgess was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital.
