(Buford, Ga.) — Gwinnett County Police responded to a call on Monday, May 27 about a suspicious person at the Rick Hendrick Chevrolet dealership in Buford. The suspect matched the description of a man police had received five calls about throughout the day. The suspect, identified as Chad Corbin, was driving a green Hummer H2.
One of the five calls came from the owner of a property which he was renting in the 3000 block of S. Puckett Rd. in Buford. The property owner and her family stated that Corbin had been acting extremely erratically over the past few days and that he had been screaming at them and trespassing on their neighbor’s property, placing sticky notes containing religious scriptures on their door.
Another call came from a homeowner on the same road who said he heard a man screaming outside his residence. When the man exited his home he heard Corbin screaming from the nearby church. The homeowner stated that eventually Corbin came walking up to his house and seemed agitated and was acting erratically. The homeowner said Corbin asked him for a trash bag because “sinners were dropping trash in the woods.”
About 30 minutes prior to the Rick Hendrick Chevrolet dealership call, officers were called to the Marathon gas station on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. and Shadburn Ferry Rd. about a white male matching Corbin’s description in a green Hummer blocking the exit of the gas station preventing patrons from leaving while he screamed religious references at them.
Based on these previous reports, officers placed Corbin under arrest for disorderly conduct at the dealership, and then booked him into the Gwinnett County jail and impounded the Hummer.
