MOULTRIE — Violent crimes investigated recently by law enforcement agencies include reports of a man pointing weapons at a woman while threatening her and a robbery outside a restaurant.

Nicole Dailey, 32, of the 1900 block of Sylvester Highway, reported to the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office that a teenage acquaintance pointed two guns at her and told her he would kill her.

Dailey reported that she was arguing with the teen at about 10:30 a.m. when he took the guns, identified by one witness as two rifles, out of a Ford Taurus. After making the threat he put the guns back in the car but came back with a pocket knife and again threatened her.

One witness described the incident as taking place just as Daily said. A second reported that she heard screams and when she looked outside saw a male take two rifles out of a car. She went to another room and when she again looked out saw him putting them back into the Taurus.

After making those initial statements, Dailey and the first witness said they did not want to answer additional questions and did not want to press charges against the 17-year-old, sheriff’s reports said.

In a Tuesday incident, Willie Peterson Jr., 31, reported that a man with a gun robbed him at about 10:30 a.m. in the McDonald’s parking lot at 506 First Ave. S.E.

The robber had a gun but did not point it at Peterson when he demanded money from Peterson, Moultrie police said.
