Police reports

The following accounts were taken from reports filed with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.

Police impersonation

An Evans woman told police Jan. 12 that someone called her home and claimed to be a police officer.

Nancy Jones Riddle of the 1200 block of Hardy Pointe Drive said the caller had a male voice and said he was a Columbia County sheriff's deputy inquiring about a check she had written, reports showed.

Riddle said the man gave her a false account number and hung up when she pointed out the fact. Police used a call-back function and determined the number belonged to a residence in Kingsland, Ga.

According to reports, the man at the residence said a Camden County deputy had been at his house. A Columbia County deputy called Camden County Sheriff's Department and was told that no one had been at the residence..

Fords spray painted

Several white Ford Explorers and trucks were spray-painted with black paint between Jan. 12-14 at Fairway Ford in Evans.

Sammie Lee Jones, a sales manager for the Washington Road business, said he arrived for work and noticed the damage, which was estimated at a cost of $4,000 and included four vehicles, reports showed.

Jones said the nature of the words sprayed onto the automobiles suggested the acts might have been committed by a disgruntled Ford customer or employee, department records stated.

Pool cue assault

An Appling man reported being hit on the head with a pool cue and robbed at an Appling bar Jan. 11.

Dale Parks said he was playing a dice game at The Pine Club on Cobbham Road just before the incident occurred. A witness said Parks was walking out of the bar when he was hit and knocked unconscious. Parks later noticed he was missing $5. The case is considered aggravated assault and robbery.
