A Spruce Street, Trion man called the Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office last week concerning a theft. When a responding deputy spoke with the complainant on Friday, he told the deputy that there was a tan/green bag missing from his residence. The complainant said that the bag contained multiple gaming systems along with games and chords for the devices. The complainant said that everything was there the night before while he was playing games in his bedroom. Nothing else was missing from the home and there was no sign of forced entrance into the home. The case was turned over to an investigator.
On Wednesday morning, at about 1:03 AM Rome Police officers responded to a 911 call reference to a subject being shot multiple times at an address within the city limits. When officers responded they discovered this was the home of Marjorie Taylor Greene. She assured the officers there was no issue and the call was determined to be a false call commonly known as “swatting”. Rome/Floyd 911 received a second call from the suspect who was using a computer-generated voice stating that he/she was upset about Mrs. Greene’s political view on transgender youth rights. The Rome Police Department Criminal Investigation Division is working in conjunction with the United States Capital Police on this investigation. This is an active investigation and no further information can be released at this time.
