I need an officer at the Collier Ridge subdivision entrance immediately. There is a black male sitting in a vehicle outside our gate. He has been here for 20 minutes. He is watching people enter and exit the neighborhood.
Ashford's voice was clipped, rehearsed, the voice of a woman who had made this call before and knew exactly which words to use. Can you describe the vehicle? Black sedan, tinted windows, government looking plates. I've reported this individual before.
He is associated with the boy who has been trespassing in our subdivision. Is the individual threatening you or anyone else? He is intimidating residents by his presence. We have a right to feel safe.
Ma'am, is there an immediate threat to life or safety? I'm telling you, there is a suspicious vehicle with a suspicious person parked in a public roadway directly outside a residential community, and I want an officer here now. The dispatcher coded the call as a priority 3 non-emergency. But Tull, who was monitoring the dispatch channel from his cruiser on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, heard the address.
He heard the description. He recognized both. he responded. Anyway, at 6:04 a.m., Tull's patrol car pulled up behind Wendell's sedan, lights on, no siren. Wendell was sitting in the driver's seat with the window down, watching the pedestrian gate.
Micah was inside the subdivision halfway through his route. Tull approached the driver's side. License and registration. Wendell looked at him.
He did not reach for anything. He kept both hands on the steering wheel, 10 and two, visible. Good morning, Sergeant. May I ask what this stop is regarding?
We received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked outside a residential community. License and registration. I'm parked on a public roadway. There is no parking restriction on this block.
