Officers confirm a critical piece of evidence as they discuss serious felony charges following a firearm discharge incident. The incident began around 11:18 PM on December 18, 2022, when Athens-Clarke County Police responded to a report of a firearm being discharged on Clayton Street and N Jackson Street. A witness described observing two females arguing, with one discharging a handgun into the air before walking towards College Avenue. The suspect was described as wearing a white shirt with a plaid skirt, and a jacket draped over her arm. Officers quickly located a shell casing outside a nearby establishment. A worker then directed officers to a dressing room where they made contact with the suspect, a 21-year-old female. Upon contact, the suspect claimed another female had fired the weapon. However, officers were advised that the suspect was still in possession of the firearm. A GLOCK 9mm was subsequently located in a holster under her skirt and secured as evidence. During the subsequent investigation, as the suspect was being processed, the original caller confirmed her as the individual who had discharged the firearm. This video segment captures officers confirming the recovered GLOCK 9mm as the "same gun" involved in the incident. They discuss the severe legal implications, specifically outlining charges for reckless conduct felony due to the discharge of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The officer then instructs another officer to have someone step outside the patrol car, indicating ongoing procedural steps. The suspect was transported to the Athens-Clarke County Jail and charged under various statutes, including Disorderly Conduct and Reckless Conduct. --- Transparency through the lens of the law.
