Inside the Police Reports: Baby Mama Fights
IHOP debacles, stolen vehicles and stolen business cards in this week's report.
Each week, Lilburn Patch takes a deeper look into recent crime reports from the Gwinnett and Lilburn police departments.
Baby Mama Fights at the Pancake House: At the IHOP on the 4200 block of Stone Mountain Highway, a waitress called Gwinnett police one May morning to report that she had just been assaulted.
A female walked into the restaurant, straight to the waitress, and asked if she knew who she was. The waitress, a 24-year-old Stone Mountain resident, told the woman that she was either her boyfriend's sister or her boyfriend's "baby mama."

Without any warning shot, the "baby mama" punched the waitress in the eye and continued to hit her face until a witness finally separated the two. The suspect left immediately in a green Ford van, which the victim believes is her boyfriend's truck. She doesn't think the suspect has her own car.
The waitress gave police the phone numbers for her boyfriend and an IHOP co-worker who knows the suspect, but police had no luck in reaching them via phone. Police were unable to file a warrant at the time of the report since the victim didn't know the name or birthday of the woman.

Right Under Your Nose: A 36-year-old woman reported her 1997 white Chevrolet stolen last month in broad daylight from her apartment's parking lot. The car had been sitting in the parking lot for a whole month because, she explained, there was "an issue with the tie rods in the front of the car."
The owners of the apartment complex, located on the 200 block of Park Crossing Way, told her that they didn't know where the car was. She doesn't believe it was repossessed because her car is completely paid off, and she has the title and car keys still with her. There are no suspects so far and Gwinnett police doesn't have any additional information at this time.
It Was Good Doing Business With You: A man residing in Nampa, Idaho, called Gwinnett police last week to report a theft of services. The man, a self-employed 43-year-old, told police that a Lilburn man had ordered 500 magnetic business cards from him, and the payment ended up being from a closed account. The victim supplied police with the man's name, address and phone number, but nothing more is known at this time.
