Local News, Local News Items #arrestreport, #chattoogacounty, #CrimeNews, #FalseInformation, #LawEnforcement, #LocalCrime, #northwestgeorgia, #Obstruction, #policereport, #PublicSafety, #summervillega, #wzqznews 0

A Summerville woman was arrested following an incident at a residence on Milton Circle, according to a Summerville Police Department incident report.

Officers say 28-year-old Jodeci Elizabeth Kayl Walker was taken into custody on March 20 after initially giving a false name to law enforcement. The report states Walker identified herself as “Jasmine Ortiz,” but officers recognized her from prior encounters.

According to the report, when officers attempted to question her further, Walker tried to leave the scene and ignored commands to stop. Authorities say she then ran from officers before being detained. During the arrest, Walker reportedly resisted, leading officers to place her on the ground before securing her in handcuffs.

Walker is charged with giving false information to a law enforcement officer and obstruction of officers. She was transported to the Chattooga County Jail without further incident.
