On Mar. 14, reports say police were called to the Chelsea Court apartments on South Avenue about in reference to a shooting. There, the victim reported he had been shot by a stranger while taking out the garbage.

Further investigation revealed, however, the shooting actually stemmed from a domestic altercation. Police said the pair gave conflicting stories about the cause of the argument, but both confirmed they had been arguing and that Garver had shot him.

On Mar. 20, reports say a police officer reported seeing a man come out of Sears at the Southern Park Mall and put two shopping bags in the trunk. A store employee then flagged down the officer to report that the man had stolen from the store.

After stopping the vehicle on U.S. Route 224, officers questioned the vehicle’s three occupants. Police reportedly found drugs and paraphernalia – such as a crack pipe, hypodermic needles, and a suspected crack rock that tested positive as cocaine, among other items
