The following incidents and arrests are some but not all of the reports filed with SSPD over the listed period, dated through Sept. 14.

The following information was provided by the Sandy Springs Police Department from its records and is presumed to be accurate.

Report of the Week

A man responded to a jobs ad on craigslist.com. He said he communicated via email with a man who said because he traveled so much, he needed the victim to cash a check for him in the amount of $2,850. He could keep $450 for himself and to mail the rest to an address on Beldon Avenue in Norwalk, Conn. The victim deposited the check, withdrew $2,400 and attempted to send the money, but the Western Union employee, being wise to it, said they could not and that the victim was probably being scammed. The victim later found that the check was no good.

Robbery

2100 block of Cimarron Parkway 30350 – On Sept. 8, a 25-year-old man reported that he went to a football game and when he returned home, the friends who were staying with him had invited other friends to stay over, which went against his instructions. He told them to leave, causing a fight. One of the men named “Kevion” pointed a small semi-automatic weapon at him and demanded that he give him “everything you got!” The others in the apartment jumped him and during this melee, $1,400 was taken from him.

Following the altercation, the suspects fled; two fled on foot, one fled in his vehicle. The suspect’s vehicle description was put on the radio. An officer saw the suspect’s vehicle turning onto I-285 westbound from Roswell Road. The officers were told that the driver of the vehicle was the one who pointed the handgun. Officers stopped the car and the driver was arrested. The two who fled on foot are being sought.

Burglary

His mother was at home, asleep. She apparently parties a lot and told him that she was out all night and didn’t remember who brought her home. The victim thinks that whoever brought her home returned and stole the items. She told him she didn’t know who brought her home but he was tall, white and furry. Her purse and prescriptions [four] also were missing.

A man reported that he gave another man a $100 down payment to purchase two iPhones and one iPad. The man never delivered the items. The victim emailed the suspect that he wanted his money back and the man finally said he would return the money on Aug. 30. He has since not responded to the victim.

Assault

200 block of Northwood Drive 30342 – On Sept. 8 cops responded to a call of a man bleeding in front of an apartment complex. They found the man with a lot of blood on him who said that he had been cut. He said the man who cut him had a street name of “Cheese.” The victim had been cut on his arm and armpit. He said that after work, he was hanging around an area where some homeless folks drink beer at night. The victim said that during this time, a man approached Cheese and paid him for some crack cocaine. Cheese intended to rip him off, so the victim told Cheese that if he was paid for the crack cocaine, he should give the guy the crack. Cheese, who was high, head-butted the victim, which in turn caused the victim to punch Cheese.  Cheese left, but returned a minute later with a broken bottle and the fight continued. A witness said Cheese fled and was probably injured as well because the cops got another call from a man who was bleeding from the head, saying he had been robbed. When the police arrived, the man had already fled. The victim was treated at the hospital and the case is being investigated as an aggravated assault.

She had a bruise under her eye. She said her boyfriend’s permanent residence is in his van that bears an Alabama tag.

Arrests

Following a traffic stop, an officer told the driver that he smelled marijuana coming from the car. She told him that her uncle had been smoking earlier. The officer found a small amount in the console and cited the woman for misdemeanor possession and speeding.

Following an earlier armed bank robbery, an anonymous call was received that one of the suspects was a man who had a street name of “KB.” Detectives confirmed those initials fit a man who was indeed a suspect in the robbery. The officer, who took the anonymous call information, found that the suspect had been issued a speeding ticket earlier in the month. He learned that the suspect  hung out on Peachtree-Dunwoody Road with students, who use that area for housing. The officer continued to check that area and on Sept. 8, found a car matching the description in the 7100 block of Peachtree-Dunwoody Road. He got a look at the driver, who matched his description of the suspect and called for backup. The car was pulled over and the suspect was taken into custody and turned over to the FBI, who was in charge of the bank robbery case.

6300 block of Peachtree Dunwoody Road 30328 – On Sept.  9, cops responded to a shoplifter being detained by store security. A woman came into the store and placed a sweater into a bag and then tried to leave the store without paying. She was cited and ordered to report in court to answer the shoplifting charge.

7700 block of Spalding Drive 30350 – On Sept. 10, cops were called to Dagwood’s Pizza concerning an intoxicated woman who was with a small child. The woman had apparently been in the business for over two hours and made frequent trips to the liquor store adjacent to the restaurant while leaving the child behind. The employees called the police after the woman entered the restroom and then exited only in her underwear. The child was turned over to the woman’s mother and the woman, who was heavily intoxicated, was taken to North Fulton Hospital.

6800 block of Roswell Road 30328 – On Sept. 10, cops responded to a suspicious person call around 1:45 p.m. They found a woman going through a Ford Econoline van. The woman said she was the girlfriend of the owner of the van,  who, according to her, was carrying on with another woman inside the Foxcroft Condos. The woman was apparently upset and was in the process of seeking revenge on the owner’s van. The cops found lubricant jell on the steering wheel. She was cited.

Following a traffic stop, an officer checked the license of the driver and then asked for ID for the passenger. The passenger said he did not have it on him but provided his name and DOB. The officer noted the man struggled with the DOB and in doing so found that the man had given him a fake one. Once confronted, the man gave the correct ID which showed outstanding warrants for theft and false imprisonment. He was arrested.
