Oconee Blotter: Food delivery man pitches fit over, curses over food order at Five Guys

The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

METH FOUND: On Aug. 31, Deputy Chris Haag was patrolling along U.S. Highway 441 when he ran a tag on a Nissan Rogue and found the vehicle’s registration was expired and it was uninsured. After stopping the vehicle, he placed the 42-year-old woman in handcuffs as she had already missed a court date on a previous charge. He also located a pill of Xanax and a substance that tested positive for methamphetamine. The woman had an address in Bishop and in Madison.

DISPUTE ERUPTS: On Sept. 4, Cpl. Lex Ogan and other deputies responded to a report of a disorderly delivery person at Five Guys restaurant at the Oconee Connector. The 20-year-old Athens man, who said he was an Uber Eats driver, was cursing and causing a scene. The man was upset because in his opinion the staff was taking too long to fill his food order. He was also accusing the employees of being prejudice due to his race. The manager explained to the officer that they have been having problems with this man for more than a week and he wanted the man banned. When the deputy explained this to the man, he began loudly cursing again despite there being small children present. “I can curse if I want to, I’m grown,” the man told the deputy. The man was warned if he continued cursing, he would be arrested. The deputies read the man a form showing he was banned from the restaurant. As he was leaving, he cursed again at the people inside. He was then put in handcuffs. He asked if he could go back inside and apologize, but the deputies took him to jail instead.

SHED ENTERED: On Sept. 5, Deputy Matthew Lariscy was dispatched to a home on Old Salem Road in Farmington Community, where a 62-year-old man reported someone has been going inside his shed and stealing items. The man said a grinder and power drill are missing.

FORGERY INVESTIGATION: On Sept. 5, Cpl. Lex Ogan was working traffic about 11 a.m. at Malcom Bridge Middle School, when he observed an Audi traveling slowly by the school. The tag showed the vehicle’s registration was expired so he made a traffic stop. Deputy Boris Argueta arrived, and they found the 26-year-old man from Greensboro had a fraudulent identification card and a Social Security card. The cards had other names, but contained the photo of the suspect. The Social Security card belonged to a deceased woman in Michigan. Those items were turned over to Investigator Matt Pilcher. The suspect explained he began driving slow because after he saw the deputy, he became scared.

SUSPENDED LICENSE: On Sept. 6, Deputy Annessa Glenn was on routine patrol when she ran the tag on a Nissan Sentra and it showed the driver had a suspended license. She stopped the car and the 29-year-old Griffin woman had four children in the car and only one was in a child safety seat. She was charged with those violations as well and taken to jail.
