MILTON, Ga. — A Milton man reported to police Dec. 4 that an Alpharetta hunter became combative after refusing to leave his Hopewell Road property to track deer.
The man said he had an ongoing issue with the suspect for years, who had permission to hunt on the adjacent property, according to the incident report. The man told police the suspect asked if he could blood track the deer on the man’s property and pressed the issue the following day after being denied access.
When the suspect arrived, the man said the suspect became combative and asked if he wanted to fight. At that point, the man said he grabbed his semi-automatic handgun and kept it in his holster, but the suspect later told police the man pointed the gun at him.
Based on the statement from both parties, police were unable to gain enough probable cause to determine if a crime was committed, the report says. But, police told the suspect if he returned to the man’s property, he may be issued a criminal trespass.
