Going back through 911 call logs regarding the unfinished home in the #AhmaudArbery case. The only time the homeowner told police he thought someone was stealing from his home was Nov. 17 when this white couple is caught on cam. McMichaels chased Arbery, who is black
Greg McMichael called the non-emergency line on 7/13/19 to say he thought some homeless man under a bridge may be responsible "for all these car break-ins we've had out here." He said this man is a "real shady fella." McMichael seemed to be suspicious of a lot of people.
I have dozens of reports from calls in about a 2-mile radius of Satilla Shores dating back to '17. There are a substantial number of car break-ins, including guns stolen. However, the only suspect name ever given to police was that of a white man, whose name was given twice. 1/2
This 911 call came on 3/22/20 and shows the thefts in Satilla Shores have continued AFTER Ahmaud Arbery's death. The blacked-out name here is the same name that appears in the report above from June of 2019
Travis McMichael called the 911 administrative line on 5/3/20 to report suspicious activity. What was it? A White car that drove by twice. "We haven't seen them in a few minutes," McMichael tells the dispatcher, who sent an officer to check it out. He'd be arrested 4 days later
Travis McMichael's sister called 911 on 5/11 because someone was at the door. She told the dispatcher, "I grabbed a gun and called you." Her mom did as well. Police came but not clear if they ever found anyone.
The mom called back at 10:15 a.m. because "three masked men banged on my door." She says her neighbor had his gun and was trying to find out who it was. The armed neighbor confirmed it was three people with CNN, according to the 911 call. She says: "When will this end?"
I mapped out the 9 thefts that have happened since May '19 in that neighborhood. This includes 3 at one home, all of which were attributed to the same white man by the victim, who lived in the Satilla Shores neighborhood at one point.
Greg McMichael confronted someone who he thought was responsible on 7/13/19, "a real shady fella", who may have been living under a bridge nearby. Here's part of the call; McMichael identified himself as the former chief investigator for the DA
I have found no proof in 911 calls or incident reports that a black person was caught committing theft in Satilla Shores since 2019. However, a white man accused in three thefts, who's been in and out of prison for theft since 1994, lived .3 miles from the McMichaels.
