MOULTRIE, Ga. — An argument on Friday night outside Colquitt Regional Medical Center put a Moultrie man in jail after police watched video to confirm that he was the aggressor.
William Ernest Bailey, 50, 564 Rosencrantz Road, was charged with disorderly conduct in the incident.
Police were dispatched at about 10:46 p.m. to a disturbance at the emergency room, where a sheriff’s deputy already had broken up the argument.
Cynthia and Derrick Jones reported that Bailey yelled at their family and he then said he had something in his truck, ran to the truck and returned to confront them again. At one point Bailey reportedly called Derrick Jones “boy” and used a vulgarity toward his wife, they told police.
Derrick Jones told police when he told Bailey to leave Bailey reached into his waist band. That was when the deputy arrived and broke up the confrontation.
Bailey told police the incident started when he asked the Jones’ children to stop using foul language while he was on the phone. He walked to his truck and then returned after they said something to him.
Video taken by hospital security confirmed the Jones’ account, police said.
