Around 2 p.m., an officer responded to a call about a prowler at a house on Moreland Avenue. The caller said a woman in a red knit cap and tan pants was pulling on the door handle and walking around the house. En route, the officer spotted a woman fitting that description on Moreland Avenue. “[She] was walking kind of fast, throwing her arms about wildly and throwing what appeared to be a green lighter from her left hand into the yard of a church. …” the officer wrote. “As I exited my vehicle, I could see her cargo pants pockets were weighed down by some type of heavy object.” After a brief struggle, the woman was handcuffed. The officer asked: “What’s your name?” “Judy Garland,” she replied. No weapons were found on her. “In her cargo pants pockets I felt what I believed was a rather large amount of coin currency,” the officer wrote. Police checked the house on Moreland Avenue — no signs of forced entry or foul play. The woman who calls herself Judy Garland was arrested for littering. The officer checked the woman’s wallet and read the name on her Georgia ID card: first name: Judy. Last name … isn’t Garland. The woman, age 47, went to jail.
