An officer responded to the Tybee Island Police Department in reference to a theft report. According to the victim, someone had stolen his tricycle from his rental property sometime between October 17rth and October 22nd.

Officers were flagged down by a woman who wanted to report an issue between the guests staying at her Short-Term Vacation Rental and one of her neighbors. According to the woman, the guests reported that the neighbor had been firing a BB gun from his balcony, at a metal “Dolphin Crossing” attached to her dock. At that time, officers responded to the STVR and noticed multiple dents in the sign, consistent with it having been shot. When confronted, the neighbor admitted to shooting the sign and claimed that he did so out of “boredom”. He was then placed under arrest and charged with Disorderly Conduct.

After identifying the primary aggressor, officers placed her under arrest and charged her with Battery.
