On September 27th, officers were dispatched to a domestic incident at 178 Mountainhigh Drive. Prechawn Walker told police that his brotherJerock Walker came to the residence to ask their mother for money to make his car payment. According to the affidavits, when his mother said no, he left the house with her iPhone XR valued at $800. Prechawn stated that Jerock reentered the home to retrieve his own cell phone, at which point the whole family confronted him about boosting their mother’s phone. Jerock denied having the phone and departed.
At some point, Prechawn, the two sisters, and their mother decided to go to a store when Jerock blocked them in and initiated a verbal confrontation with mom. Prechawn opened his door to exit the vehicle and Jerock inserted his leg through the door asking “are you trying to fight?” During this intimidation, he also pulled out a “realistic” looking BB gun. Prechawn testified his brother did not flag him with the gun or say he would shoot him but he was fearful that Jerock would do so. The mother and sisters corroborated theses statements and also confirmed that they felt fearful and believed Jerock would shoot Prechawn.
