Police Report:
“On 8/8/22 at approximately 11:55PM I responded to a disturbance with a tow truck driver and a citizen. Upon arrival I met Brett who was extremely irritated with the fact that his neighbors car was being towed. The vehicle was already verified to be towed and Brett was very upset that "someone is stealing my neighbors car and you need to do something about it".
I instructed Brett several times to retreat back to his residence and it was not his business that the vehicle was being towed. The owner of the vehicle, whom did not wish to be involved in this report, was already aware that her vehicle was being towed and was able to get her belongings out of the car and go back into her home. At this time the tow truck driver, whom also did not wish to be involved in this report, was attempting to leave with the vehicle when Brett came out of his residence that was 3 houses away and stood in front of the truck telling the tow truck driver "you are stealing this car and I am not leaving until you put it back". The tow truck driver began to call CCSO dispatch in order to have law enforcement have him removed.
When I arrived I verified with the driver that he was in fact at the correct house and in fact had the correct vehicle. Brett became very upset again saying "you need to verify the VIN on that vehicle and he is stealing it". I again advised Brett to retreat to his residence due to the situation being none of his concern. Brett pulled out his cell phone and yelled "I am recording you not doing your job" as he was sticking up his middle finger at me. I again demanded that Brett retreat back to his residence as this was none of his concern. It should be noted that while speaking with Brett the smell of alcohol was coming off of his person. Brett had slurred speech and was not steady on his feet.
At this time several people from various houses came outside to see what the commotion was about. Brett continued to yell at me "you are blinding me with the photons from your flashlight and it is illegal to do so. It is the same as pointing a green laser at an airplane". I advised Brett that the light illuminating from my flashlight was in fact not green and it was pointed at him for my safety due to the street not having street lights. Brett continued to record me and began to yell "lick my a** hole. Get the f**k out of my neighborhood you f***ing a** hole. This is my f***ing street and you need to leave". At one point during this interaction with Brett he did in fact retreat to his house but continued to yell from an open window "check the VIN you f***ing a** hole" and closed the window and turned the light off. As I was attempting to leave, Brett reappeared from his residence onto the neighbors yard and began to repeatedly tell me to "lick my a** hole you f***ing a** holes" while holding up his middle finger.
Brett was given several verbal warnings to retreat back to his residence or he would be going to jail for disorderly conduct due to people coming out of various houses to inspect the commotion. Brett did not adhere to these warnings at all. Due to the concerns from the neighboring residences, Brett was told to stay where he was and to show his hands. Brett complied with commands and was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct. Brett was transported to the Columbia County Detention Facility without incident.”
