MACON, Ga. -- A Macon woman is charged with aggravated assault for an attack on her neighbor.

That's according to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office, which says deputies responded to a call on Log Cabin Dr. on February 17 regarding a fight.

According to the report, 50-year-old Joyce Ann Styles asked her neighbor to come over for a while.


Deputies say when the neighbor stopped by, Styles "threw a pot of hot grease on him." Reports show the two neighbors were formerly a couple and Styles was angry at the victim "for talking to another female."


Officers arrested styles and booked her into the Bibb County Jail. Records indicate that Styles remains in custody on a $390 bond for one count of aggravated assault and one count of probation violation.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Emotions were high as a woman accused of attacking a Mexican restaurant owner and telling her to "go back to her own country" was sentenced Friday.

The attack happened in May.

Maria Aguilar-Sanchez, the owner of Michoacan Mexican Restaurant in Northeast Portland, attempted to help a customer settle a bill.


The customer left and came back with 46-year-old Delissa Gill.


Gill started yelling racist insults at Aguilar-Sanchez, so she ran into the kitchen to call police.

Gill followed her and began physically attacking her, bashing her head into a tree and forcing her to the ground.

"There's a multitude of these prejudices going on here by Miss Gill. Immigrants built this nation. If it wasn't for immigrants, we wouldn't be where we are now, and she's attacking that foundation," said BJ Park, Multnomah County deputy district attorney.

Aguilar-Sanchez told the judge that despite the attack, she didn't want Gill to spend time behind bars but to learn from what she had done.

Gill was convicted of one count of intimidation in the second degree and one count of assault in the fourth degree.

She was sentenced to five months in prison and to serve five years of probation.
 
An emergency call went out as “someone struck in the head with a pole.” A Bibb County sheriff’s deputy who answered the call on the afternoon of March 9 found the victim, a 24-year-old man, at a house on Baker Street in south Macon. The deputy learned that the man, as the emergency call said, had been hit with a pole. The victim was bleeding and holding his head. He said he had been arguing with another guy, 27, on a dead-end street nearby, just east of Pio Nono Avenue below Newburg Avenue. The victim, according to the deputy’s write-up, “stated that they had an argument over the keys to his mother’s house last night, and that the argument led to violence today.” The report didn’t mention what kind of pole the wounded man was struck with. Cops searched for the suspect but it wasn’t clear whether they found him.



Dispatches: On the afternoon of March 5, an employee at Gem Cleaners on Ingleside Avenue in Macon told the cops that she was in the front of the shop when she heard “a loud noise.” She said that at first she thought it was coming from another business nearby “because they often make loud noises,” a sheriff’s report of the episode said. The employee heard the sound again and went to the back of the shop to see what it was. It turned out to be two “young males,” the report said, and when they saw her they yelled, “Oh, s---!” and took off running. The sound she heard appeared to have been banging on a back door, which had been kicked in. . . . In mid-January, a south Macon who lives off Bloomfield Road called the cops to report that a woman he knows had scratched and dented his wife’s Nissan Altima. It wasn’t clear what may have prompted the outburst. The man said the cops had already told the woman, 53, to stay away. The man, according to a sheriff’s report, said he spoke to the suspect by phone and that she admitted causing the damage. She also told him, the report added, “that she would cut the top of his convertible if it was” there. The man said the woman claimed she would pay for repairs when she “gets her tax money.

District Attorney David Cooke said in a conference call with reporters that the deputy, Jeremiah Moneypenny, was “justified in his actions” when he shot Bivins in the early hours of March 1 near Cherry Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.



As is routine in such investigations, the deputy had been on paid administrative leave pending results of the probe.



“In a case where the facts are clear,” Cooke said, “there is no need to delay getting the deputy back to work.”

According to Cooke, the initial findings of an investigation into the shooting showed that Bivins had been in a fight with another man near the Hummingbird bar on Cherry Street about 1:30 a.m.

Cooke said the man ran and that Bivins chased the man down Cherry to MLK, where Bivins fired two shots near the intersection there.

The deputy, who had been called to check on something at a bar nearby, saw the shooting and ordered Bivins to stop and drop his gun, Cooke said, but Bivins ran.

The deputy chased Bivins and during the chase Bivins, according to Cooke, “turned around, looking back toward deputy Moneypenny while still holding the gun. Deputy Moneypenny reasonably believed that Mr. Bivins was about to shoot him and he fired several shots toward Mr. Bivins.”



Cooke said the pair “exchanged gunfire” and the chase continued up MLK to Mulberry Street Lane where Bivins was caught with a semiautomatic pistol.

“An eyewitness who had been talking to deputy Moneypenny ... saw Mr. Bivins fire shots near the intersection of Cherry Street and MLK Boulevard,” Cooke said. “He also saw Mr. Bivins holding the gun when Mr. Bivins turned toward deputy Moneypenny.”

The men's national team is coming off a seventh-place finish at the FIBA World Cup in China last year. Now it will have to wait to avenge that disappointment, although who'll be on the team when it attempts to do so is just one of the many questions raised by last week's announcement.
