On May 23, Facundo Alcantara was standing outside of a Rite Aid waiting for Roswell police to show because he had allegedly been robbed. When the police arrived, he told them that he had cashed a check for $5,000 only to see $4,500 of the money be stolen moments later by a female armed robber.

Alcantara stated that the robbery had occurred an hour earlier. When another officer arrived on the scene to question Alcantara, his story began to change.

Alcantara’s new story went something like this: he said he voluntarily gave a female $4,500 as collateral because she had asked him to cash her winning lottery ticket. The female promised Alcantara $15,000 if he would cash the ticket. However, when Alcantara came back out after attempting to cash the ticket, the woman and his $4,500 were both gone.

Alcantara told police that he made up the more serious first story so that they would find the female faster and arrest her. However, it was Alcantara who was arrested for giving a false report of a crime.

Lovers Quarrell
On May 25, Roswell police were dispatched to the Riverwood apartments in reference to a domestic dispute. Upon arrival, the two parties involved in the dispute, Jacob Aberle and Christopher King, approached the officer. Dispatch had notified the officer that one of the parties may be armed with a taser. Aberle advised the officer that the taser was in the living room.

When the officer inquired about the nature of the dispute, King explained to the officer that he and Aberle had been dating for eight months and that Aberle had become infuriated when King gave his phone number to another male earlier in the night. King further stated that once the pair got back to their apartment, an argument erupted. According to King, he told Aberle that he was going to leave him and that Aberle reacted by shooting King with the aforementioned taser.

King continued his story and said that Aberle threatened to vandalize King’s car. King said that he tried to keep Aberle from going outside to vandalize his car, but he was unsuccessful. Once outside, Aberle proceeded to let out the air in all of the tires on King’s car. King said he then locked the door so that Aberle couldn’t get back in. However, a determined Aberle was able to get back in, according to King, when he knocked down the door.

Aberle denied using the stun gun, but seemed to concur with the rest of the story. Aberle said that the marks on King’s back came from the front door and that King had been struck by it when Aberle broke through it.

Based on the testimony of the two parties and the physical evidences, Aberle was taken into custody and charged with simple battery and criminal trespass.
