Man reports assault outside Alpharetta bar

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — An Alpharetta police report filed last week said a Cumming man was knocked unconscious and robbed outside a bar in downtown Alpharetta Feb. 26.

A police officer was flagged down by two individuals while working outside of Alpharetta First Baptist Church at 11 a.m. Feb. 26 and was told an assault occurred at a nearby bar early that morning.

The victim, a 28-year-old Cumming man, said he went to Mercantile Social at about 10 p.m. Feb. 25 and left the bar to call his girlfriend at about 12:30 a.m. The victim said the last thing he remembered before being knocked unconscious was walking behind the business to make his call.

Reports said the man did not see who had attacked him, and he woke up “in the bushes” behind Mercantile Social at about 10 a.m. with both his wallet and phone missing.

Using the Find My iPhone app, the victim and police reportedly saw his phone pinging in several different locations around downtown Alpharetta, but it could not be located.

The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation, and the Roswell Police Department says more information will be made available as the case progresses through the prosecution stage.

Anglin was taken to the Fulton County Jail and is being held without bond.

Officers also noted that despite claiming to be “knocked unconscious” the victim did not appear to be injured at all.

No suspect was identified at the time of the report.

Woman says coworker threatened her with knife

ROSWELL, Ga. — A Roswell woman told police she had been pushed and threatened with a knife by her coworker on March 4 at Tapestry House, an assisted living facility on Holcomb Bridge Road.

The woman reported that earlier that evening, she had gotten into an argument with her coworker. As the argument escalated, she said the coworker pushed her, and she pushed back. Another employee intervened and stopped it from escalating.

After the fight, the coworker approached the woman again with a pocketknife in hand and allegedly said “You talk too much, come and let’s fight.” The coworker then left her alone.

The woman told police she believed the only reason her coworker did not cause harm is because she ignored the coworker and walked out of the business.

Security footage was not accessible when the police filed the report, but the woman said she does want to press charges. She also reported the incident to her employer.
