GUILTY GA - Tina Prince, 46, teacher, Sandersville, 28 May 2021 *ARREST*

Locked Gate?

... 1958 Pleasant Grove Road.... Pleasant Grove & Linton Roads,...a gated entrance to Imerys. ... red clay dirt roads....Google Maps

... Does anyone know how often the gate would be open... He must have known a secret way into that area....

@Knox sbm bbm Thanks for the pix. Red clay dirt? You said it.
@DeDee Yes, maybe perp had secret way, or maybe padlock key.

OTOH, w a quick glance, gate appears to be chained to prevent opening, but if I'm correctly interpreting the closeup photo of gate, the gate itself has no lock/locking device. In pic Knox posted, a metal chain is wrapped around both sides of gate, but afaik, only one end of chain is placed in padlock's shackle, meaning gate can be opened. So any rando approaching can simply unfurl the chain's loose end, and bingo, he's in like Flynn.
So perp may not have needed secret way in or a padlock key.

Some rural homeowners 'stage' their gates w chains & padlocks during the day (like pic in Knox post).
But at nighttime they put both ends of chain thru padlock's shackle (like pic below) to actually lock to prevent gate from opening. my2ct.

It looks like a new and shiny padlock.

It looks like a new and shiny padlock.

@Teche In this pic at site involved in this case, yes, padlock seems newer than chain and gate. But appears to me not to actually lock the gate. See, only one link of chain end is in the padlock shackle, so gate (and chain) is not locked.

Pic below (and in my post 461) is a stock pic, showing a new shiny padlock on old chain, w links of both chain ends in padlock shackle, so gate is locked.

Hope this helps. Or maybe someone else can explain better.
Or maybe look at pix on bigger-then-phone screen?

@Alpine yep- the gate is dummy locked.

@Alpine yep- the gate is dummy locked.

@Knox Thanks for your post.

Sorry, I had to explain it so awkwardly. Dummy locked.
I did not know the technical term for it.

Is that an actual term? Meaning, it's not locked, but it looks locked -- to help keep honest people honest?

Whether it is dummy locked or not, the gate looks like it keeps cars out, but a person on foot could get through, even if carrying something. How far from the gate was Tina found?

 

[Knox]

That's what we've always called it when the lock looks like it's clasped, but not fully clicked in.

The other part of that same post has a link which shows AA may have some familiarity with the area, but on the back side of the property. If he grew up in Sandersville, he probably knows the rural part of the county well.

If you check the Washington County Jail roster, Aaron Adams had another charge added - Probation Violation for a fingerprintable charge which is another felony.

His records indicate AA is 5'2"
Is that data an error, perhaps?
Also, is he listed as a Female?

These type of records should appear flawless if only for the sake of public safety. If AA busted out of jail, by exampe, would we be searching for a 5'2" female?

 

[Knox]

What is a fingerprintable charge?

Looks like it means he violated the terms of his parole.

@DeDee M/F = Misdemeanor or Felony.

 

[Jethro4WS]

What is a fingerprintable charge?

I expect it is a really long list of offenses. Go here.
Criminal Offenses that Require Fingerprinting

There you can open a 1.9 MB Excel spreadsheet that lists all the offenses.

 

[Tealgrove]

Have we discovered what he was on parole for?

I noticed that too, but in the top portion he is listed as a male. The M/F in the list of charges, I'm not sure what that is. I've looked down at other peoples records and some have a mix of M and F. I wonder if it's the gender of the arresting officer, but that doesn't really make sense either. 502 for height is weird too.

I looked at the Georgia Offender Search website, and there are only two Aaron Adams listed, both on parole, neither are him.

ETA: He also isn't listed on the Georgia State Board of Paroles and Pardons website. Was he on parole in another state, maybe?

AA has many cases listed, but these two are the only ones which indicate he was placed on probation.

Misdemeanor and felony?

Ahh yes! Makes perfect sense!

 

[MrsWatson]

So, he's not shy about pointing a gun at someone.

MOO
