Battered Man Tells Bizarre Story of Prostitution, Drugs

A man told police of an bizarre incident that happend to him involving prostitution, crack cocaine and brass knuckles.

According to the police report, the 48-year-old Alpharetta man was meeting a prostitute at an in unincorporated Norcross around 10:30 p.m. June 5.

When he arrived at the 6045 Oakbrook Parkway establishment to visit "Deanna," he knocked on the door and was greeted by a man named "D."

The Alpharetta man told police that he didn't see Deanna there, but instead saw several bags of crack cocaine on the table in the room.

He said that he always reports drugs to police, so he allegedly told an officer in the parking lot about it.

This is when the story starts to get a bit murkier: He went back to the hotel to have a beer with a friend in another room, but then he ran into "D." Because the victim had supposedly ratted him out to the police, the cocaine man charged at him and hit the victim in the face with a pair of brass knuckles.

The victim ran away from the scene and called police. With the left side of his face swollen, he met them at the Shell gas station at Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Oakbrook Parkway.

Police noted in the report that he was constantly changing his story and gave conflicting statements about the incident. The report does not state what happened to the first officer the victim allegedly flagged down about the cocaine. The victim changed his story on how he knew "D," too.

After hearing the victim's stories, the officer went to the inn and knocked on the room with the man who allegedly had the cocaine, but no one answered the door.

The victim was adamant about pressing charges against "D" and was angry that the officer did not kick in the door to arrest the suspect.

Shortly after the officer left, the victim called authorities again and said that Deanna had just called him from the room with "D" and that she was being held against her will. Two officers, one of them being the same officer from before, responded to the hotel room again, but nothing suspicious was heard from outside.

The same officer called the victim, and, not realizing he was speaking to the same person, the victim changed his story. When the officer told him that they had already spoken and reminded him how it's unlawful to falsely report a crime, the victim disconnected the call.

The victim described "D" as being a "stocky" black male between 30 and 40, and having a shaved head and a tattoo at the base of his neck.
