A couple of police reports chronicling alleged criminal incidents in Cartersville and Bartow County in the last day or so caught our eyes at Cartersville Patch. Here are the stories:

Woman Allegedly Burns Husband's Clothes, Shoes

A local man came home from work early Tuesday to find all of his clothing and shoes burned, allegedly at the hands of his wife.

Deputies responded about 3 a.m. to a domestic dispute at the couple's Jewell Road home in Cartersville, according to the Bartow County Sheriff's Office incident report, attached.

The husband told authorities he had been gone about 12 hours and returned to find his wife, Jacquita Jealwon Green, 29, sitting in the dark. When he asked what was wrong, Green allegedly replied, "I know you have a cell phone."

The husband told police he noticed all of this clothing items and shoes missing. Green said she burned them in the back yard about an hour and a half after her husband left for work, police say.

She was arrested and charged with second-degree criminal damage to property.

Man Says 'Medical Marijuana' Prescribed, but Bought from Drug Dealer

A Canton man accused of nearly crashing into a police cruiser said the alleged pot found in his car was medical marijuana, but later admitted he bought it from a drug dealer, according to the Cartersville Police Department incident report, attached.

Christopher David Jones, 29, allegedly pulled his Saab into oncoming traffic Monday on Highway 41 about 9:15 p.m., causing an officer on patrol to brake suddently and swerve.

Jones said he had been looking at his phone, trying to find a location via GPS, when he pulled out in front of the police officer. But Jones "seemed extremely nervous," and "hand was shaking rapidly" as he "was stumbling and stuttering over words," the officer wrote.

When asked if police could search his car, Jones allegedly replied, "But sir I am not nervous." He then consented to a search of his vehicle, but grabbed a "medium size" bag of suspected marijuana from the center console as he got out, police say.

Jones said it "was medical marijuana and it helped him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder," reported the officer. "I then asked Mr. Jones if this 'medical marijuana' was prescribed by a doctor and he advised no and later agreed that he bought it from a drug dealer."

He was arrested and charged with failure to obey a stop sign, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a drug-related object and possession of marijuana by ingestion.
