Shooting at T.I.'s Atlanta Restaurant Scales 925 [Police Report Inside]


The restaurant, Scales 925, owned by famous Atlanta rapper Tip Harris better known as T.I. looked like a scene straight out of the wild wild west, after a parking lot shoot out last night in Atlanta. One man was injured and police are still trying to locate the shooter. Drugs arrests were also made after marijuana was found at the scene.

According to the Police Report via AJC:
“On 10-25-2015 I responded to a Person Shot call at 30 Ivan Allen Blvd. Upon arrival I spoke to (a restaurant employee) and he stated that he works for the 925 Scales Restaurant, and he stated that five or six males were in the restaurant on the upper deck, and they were having a verbal altercation between them, and they were asked to leave the location by staff.
“All the males left the location and headed to the parking lot. The verbal altercation continued, and it turned into fight between a male with a red shirt, and a heavy set male. (The employee) stated that he heard one gun shot, and he saw the male with the red shirt with a gun on this right hand and he headed to the West Peachtree Street side of the building. (The employee) was not able to see the person that was shot.
“There is video footage from the restaurant that shows the altercation on the parking lot, and the male with the red shirt shot at Mr. Glen Rice on the left leg, and the subject left the location as a passenger on a black sedan that was parked on the curve waiting for him. Then Mr. Rice was seen on the video running on Ivan Allen Blvd. side of the building, and he threw a black revolver on a stairwell that was adjacent to the sidewalk.
(The employee) stated that he saw a black Porsche come out the parking lot of the restaurant after the victim was shot, and headed to Ivan Allen Blvd. A black Porsche was also seen on the video, and it made a u-turn on the middle of the street, and picked up Mr. Rice and continued on Ivan Allen Blvd towards Peachtree Street. Several units were working an extra job on Peachtree Street blocking the road for an event, when they saw a black Porsche drive through the blocked road, and stopped at Peachtree Street and Linden Ave in front of Emory Hospital. Mr. Rice came out of the front passenger seat, and laid on the sidewalk of the intersection bleeding from his leg. Mr. Rice stated that he was shot and he did not know who shot him.
The driver of the vehicle parked the vehicle at 68 Linden Ave, and exited the vehicle and returned to where Mr. Rice was. (The driver) stated that he was on his way to pick up Mr. Rice from the restaurant, and he noticed that he was shot on the leg. He picked him up and attempted to drive him to the hospital. Grady units 374 and 604 arrived on scene and transported Mr. Rice to Grady Hospital. Two crime scenes where set up.
“One of them at 30 Ivan Allen Blvd in front of the Scales restaurant, and the second one at 68 Linden Ave at the parking lot where the vehicle was parked. Sgt. Collins Arrived on the 30 Ivan Allen Blvd crime scene, the entire front of the restaurant was roped off with crime scene tape. A .380 Auto shell casing was found on the sidewalk on West Peachtree side where Mr. Rice was shot.
“A series of drops of blood leaded to the loaded revolver that was found on Ivan Allen Blvd side. The serial number of the weapon is: H37601 Smith and Wesson 32 Cal. Long. I ran the weapon and it is possibly stolen out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. It takes them 24 hours to confirm if the weapon was actually stolen, and an investigator will follow up with Chattanooga. ID unit 7346 arrived on scene and took pictures on the scene, he took blood samples of the sidewalk, and took the shell case, and the revolver and they were placed in Police property as evidence. I drove to the next crime scene on 68 Linden Ave where the vehicle is located, which was secured by Officer Bien-aime. ID arrived on scene and took pictures of the vehicle.
“I noticed a black book bag that was abandoned on the parking lot next to the Porsche. I opened the bag and found 240.4 Grams of marijuana and a US Passport that belongs to Mr. Rice. ID took pictures of the bag and its contents, and the bag was handed over to Investigator Fowler along with $5,953 dollars in cash that was in Mr. Rice’s possession when he was shot and they were left inside the vehicle to be taken to property as evidence. Mr. Rice was charged with Reckless conduct and possession of marijuana (240.4 Grams).”
Hmmm so that's no good. Scales 925 hasn't even been open that long either. I was looking forward to checking this place out but after that I don't know. Folks always know how to mess up a good thing I tell you!!!!!

Disturbing News: Dekalb County Officer Kills a Naked Man Obviously Suffering From Some Form of Mental Issue!!!!


I totally have a problem with this story. Police responded to a suspicious nude unarmed male frolicking around his apartment complex. Now if that alone doesn't scream mental illness I don't know what does. The man was killed after he charged at an officer and ignored the officer's commands.

Delkab County police are investigating a deadly officer-involved shooting.

The shooting happened at an apartment complex just after 1 p.m. Monday on Chamblee Tucker Road.

Witnesses described the bizarre and unexplained moments that led to this shooting.

Channel 2 Action News has obtained exclusive video of the man who was shot. Video showed him hanging naked from a balcony and walking around before police arrived.

"He was doing weird movement. He was crawling on the floor, lying down on the floor," said one witness, who asked not to be identified

The officer was responding to reports of an unarmed and unclothed man banging on doors and crawling on the ground.

“He tells me, ‘I'm OK, I'm OK.’ That's what he was saying,” the witness said.

The witness said he told the man, identified as 27-year-old Anthony Hill, to go inside or he was going to get arrested.

"He was acting crazy but he was calm like he didn't know where he was. He was like kind of lost in his face," the witness said.

The responding officer, who is described as a seven-year veteran, confronted Hill.

Some witnesses and the chief of police say Hill was aggressive and lunged at the officer.

"When the male saw the officer, he charged, running at the officer. The officer called on him to step back, drew his weapon and fired two shots,” said DeKalb County Director of Public Safety Cedric Alexander.

Hill died at the scene. Some believe the shooting was justified while others aren't sure.

"He ran to the police. He runs wide open with the hands up," the witness said.

Hill was black and the officer is a white male. The chief says he wants a transparent investigation in light of officer involved shootings in other parts of the country.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the case to investigate. The officer who was involved in the shooting is on paid administrative leave as they investigate.

Ughhhh that really makes me feel some type of way. I feel like this and many other cases that we have heard of shows that police officers have little to absolute no training whatsoever when it comes to dealing with people and mental illness. Another unarmed young black man is dead when he could have been shot in the leg and in the hospital recovering from his injuries and getting the help he obviously needed. Anthony Hill did not need to lose his life and the police are completely reckless. Can someone get them new training asap because this is beyond ridiculous!!!!

Angie Stone Lays the Smacketh on her Daughter's Asseth!


Dammit man. I mean if you've seen RnB Divas Atlanta then you know that Angie and her daughter don't exactly have the best relationship. I guess it all came to a head and Angie ended bustin that ass and landed her own in jail. Diamond ended up posting pics of the aftermath. You can peep her injures below.

According to AJC:
Angie Stone, a Grammy-nominated singer who rose to fame with R&B hits such as “Brotha,” “No More Rain” and “Wish I Didn’t Miss You,” was arrested in DeKalb County after police say she struck her 30-year-old daughter with a metal stand and knocked out the woman’s front teeth.
According to a DeKalb County police incident report, Angie Stone said Diamond Stone hit her in the face with closed fists first. Diamond Stone and Blondy Chisolm, a family friend who witnessed the Monday night altercation, told police they were not sure who threw the first blow.
The spat, according to Diamond Stone, started when Angie Stone entered her daughter’s room, demanded that she clean it up and ordered her to control her children, who were running around the singer’s Rogers Lake Road home half naked.
“Ms. Diamond Stone then went on to state that Ms. Angie Stone started (getting) in her face, telling her she needed to leave because she is tired (of) her,” police said in the report. “Ms. Diamond Stone then stated her and Ms. Angie Stone started to argue, and that’s when a physical altercation started to occur.”
Angie Stone, 53, told police she did not know she hit her daughter with a metal stand.
“Once she realized this,” police said in the report, “she quickly put the stand down and attempted to get away from Ms. Diamond Stone. Ms. Angie Stone then stated while she tried to get away, Ms. Diamond Stone continued to come after her as if to strike her again but stated that Ms. Blondy Chisolm came to break up the fight.”
Diamond Stone’s version of the story is different. According to the report, she walked away after Angie Stone struck her in the face with the metal stand and called police. Both women were taken to DeKalb County Police Department headquarters for questioning. Diamond Stone was released with no charges. Stone is being held in the DeKalb County jail on a charge of domestic aggravated assault.

Damn Ang...a metal stand? Knocking the girl's teeth out???  Geesh

WOW. I'm sure most of you have heard this by now that Bobbi Kristina Brown was found in a tub as first responders entered her Roswell home. #howeerieisthat
No details as to why she was in need of resuscitation in the first place but she was revived by paramedics and transported to the hospital where it is reported that she is in "stable" condition.

AJC Reports:
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston, was found unresponsive in her home Saturday, according to the Roswell Police Department.
Brown was later revived and was being treated in the intensive care unit at North Fulton Hospital, according to TMZ, a celebrity news web site.
The Roswell police department said rescue workers were sent to her home at Riverbend Manor in Roswell about 10:25 am Saturday after her husband, Nick Gordon, and a friend found her in the tub and began CPR.

Brown was taken to North Fulton Hospital, and police are still on the scene investigating.
Houston died in February 2012. She was discovered in a bathtub at the Beverly Hills hotel room. The official cause of Houston’s death was drowning and the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use, according to the Los Angeles coroner’s office. Toxicology results showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system.
Bobbi Kristina also hinted that she was pursuing a music career modeled after her mom and dad, singer Bobby Brown.
