A Winder man was arrested after a fight over pots on a microwave turned violent.
Mike Lee Bradford, 53, of 1056 Standard Drive in Atlanta, said he and his girlfriend’s male roommate got into an argument about pots being placed on top of a microwave. The male roommate told Bradford not to put pots on the microwave because he did not want the appliance to get scratched.
During the course of the argument, Bradford allegedly grabbed the man and pushed him to the ground. The victim said Bradford yelled at him and threatened to hurt his dog. The victim said when he tried to call 911, Bradford yanked the phone away and threw it across the room.
When police arrived, the victim said that Bradford and Carol Ann Sanders, 53, of 260 Courtyard Circle in Winder, had been drinking and smoking marijuana inside the home.
Upon entering the residence, the officer noticed a strong odor of burnt marijuana. Bradford, who was sitting at the kitchen table smoking a cigarette, told the officer that no one had smoked any marijuana in the house.
At that point, the officer looked at the ashtray on the table and saw a small amount of green leafy material and a hand rolled cigarette. Bradford said the cigarette contained tobacco, but, when the officer tore the cigarette open, he discovered it held a substance which appeared to be marijuana.
When the officer questioned Sanders about the marijuana, she admitted that she and Bradford had smoked some earlier in the evening, but that it was all gone by the time the officer arrived.
Bradford was arrested and charged with simple battery, interference with a 911 call and possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. Sanders was charged with possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
Both were transported to the Barrow County Detention Center.
