We have more information on the case of four men arrested for charges including Aggravated Assault with a gun. According to Cartersville Police, on Saturday, May 22, CPD officers responded to a call from the Microtel on Joe Frank Harris Parkway. Upon arrival, officers encountered a woman in the lobby covered in blood. The woman had sustained a gunshot wound, and she said that she was unsure how she received this wound. The victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Upon observing surveillance video, investigators identified Missael Guerrero, Yahir Guerrero, Nestor Puente, and Juan Fuentes leaving the room next to the victim’s holding a gun case. One of them was also holding what appeared to be a gun. All four men left the scene. The next night, they were stopped in Newton County, Mississippi and confessed to the officer that they were coming back to Cartersville for their involvement in a shooting. All four men were arrested in Mississippi on charges of Aggravated Assault and Reckless Conduct. They were held in Newton county until they were extradited back to Bartow County and booked into the Bartow County jail on June 9.

Earlier this month Investigator Reed (Center) was presented with Cartersville Police Departments Life Saving Award by Chief Frank McCann (L) and Major Jeff Dalman (R). While off duty in Rome, Georgia, Investigator Reed came upon a female having a medical issue inside of her locked vehicle. The female was unable to unlock or open her doors, and thanks to Investigator Reed's quick actions, he broke the vehicle's window and began providing medical aid until the fire department arrived on scene. A big thank you to Investigator Reed for a job well done! #commuitypolicing #lifesaver #police
