A woman said she was assaulted after making an uncomplimentary remark about an acquaintance’s hair extensions.
When asked why she made a comment regarding the extensions, the victim replied “because they were bad.”
The woman suffered injuries to her face, legs and arms but refused medical treatment.
According to the incident report, the woman was more concerned about finding her dog than speaking with the deputy about the attack.
The woman admitted being extremely intoxicated and said the only reason she came to the location was because the female with bad hair extensions owed her money.
The woman refused to answer most of the deputy’s questions, repeatedly replying with “you won’t do s***.”
When the deputy finished taking photographs and gathering information for the report, he attempted to give the woman a card with the case number, but she refused to accept it again reiterating her opinion that the Sheriff’s Office was “not gonna do s***” with the information.
Blue latex gloves, pistol cause alarm
A Winder woman called the Sheriff’s Office after noticing suspicious activity in her Argonne Road trailer park.
The woman said two men arrived at the trailer park in separate vehicles. One of the men was driving a gray sport utility vehicle and the other was driving a red Honda with a loud exhaust.
The woman saw the men exit their respective vehicles wearing blue latex gloves. The woman said one of the men was holding a pistol.
When the men walked towards her, she asked them what they were doing. One of the men said he was looking for a man named Chris. The woman told him that no one named Chris lived in the area.
The woman said both men left at that point and headed south on Highway 53.
Deputies were unable to locate the two gloved men.
Man assaulted after being released from jail
A man said he was attacked as he was trying to make his way home to Lawrenceville after being released from the Barrow County Detention Center.
The victim said he was walking alongside Hwy. 211 when a red Toyota truck occupied by three men pulled over. One of the men asked the victim what he was doing. The victim explained he was just trying to get home.
Both passengers exited the truck and asked the victim what he had in his hand. When the victim identified the object as a Bible, one of the passengers allegedly knocked it out of his hand. The man said he bent over to pick up the Bible and, as he stood back up, the man punched him. The victim said the other passenger appeared to have a knife in his hand.
The victim said he then ran away because he did not want to go back to jail.
The victim was unable to provide a tag number for the vehicle. He described his assailants as white men wearing fatigues. He was unable to provide a description of the driver.
The victim then asked the deputy for a ride to the Gwinnett County line because he said he was afraid the men in the truck would come back and attack him. The deputy transported the victim to the intersection of Hwy. 316 and Hwy. 29 in Lawrenceville.
Gun shooting neighbor angers fowl owner
A Winder man called the Sheriff’s Office after his neighbor began shooting his gun outside his Carl Cedar Hill Road residence.
The man, who owns several roosters, said his neighbor has repeatedly called authorities to complain about the noise his roosters make.
As a result, the man has been ordered to move his roosters from the backyard to the front yard.
The man said he thought it was unfair that his neighbor can shoot a gun, but he cannot have roosters that make noise.
‘Big pencil’ tapping sounds reported

Drunk man complains about lack of light
A deputy was called to a Jefferson Highway address after a man complained that his wife had turned out the lights while he was trying to cook meat.
The man, who the deputy noted was extremely intoxicated, was unable to stand.
The deputy spoke with the man’s wife who said she did not realize her husband had called authorities.
The woman said her husband had been outside for several hours taking pills and drinking. The woman said she got tired of the noise, so she turned off the lights and cut power to the man’s radio. No argument occurred.
The deputy informed the intoxicated man that his wife had every right to turn off the lights and, if he did not like it, he should speak civilly with his wife “rather than calling 911 because he was too intoxicated to stand up.”
In response, the man pointed to a large gash on his head and explained that those type injuries are what happens when he tries to walk while drunk.
The deputy advised the man to try drinking less.
Before the deputy left, the drunken man asked how he was supposed to cook his meat without any light. The deputy said he was confident the man would figure out a solution.
Landlord too eager for tenant to move
A renter contacted authorities after returning home and discovering half of her belongings had been packed.

The landlord later admitted to the deputy that he had taken the woman’s phone. The landlord claimed he allowed the woman to borrow the phone and did not want her to take it when she moved.
The landlord was arrested for criminal trespass.
Possible paving scam reported
A Winder man called the Sheriff’s Office after a paving company tried to collect $6,000 for a job they said would only cost $1,400.
The victim said a man claiming to work for a company named Road Materials came to his house and offered to pave his driveway with asphalt left over from the Hwy. 211 paving project.
The man reportedly quoted a price of $1,400 for 1,000 linear feet. The victim agreed to the price and marked off the area he wanted paved.
Later that afternoon, the man returned with his crew and paved the victim’s driveway. The next day, the man returned demanding payment of $6,000. When the victim questioned the amount, the man said the price he quoted was for cubic, not linear, feet of asphalt.
The victim disputed the price and said he would pay $1,400 “and not a penny more.”
The man left the victim’s property, but called a few days later still attempting to collect $6,000. The man’s father, who owns the company, also attempted to convince the victim to pay the inflated sum.
When the victim refused, he was threatened with legal action. The victim informed the deputy that he provided the man with his contact information and said he would see them in court.
The victim said he subsequently checked with the Better Business Bureau and discovered that Road Materials also operates under the name of H&H Paving.
