Date of Incident: May 30, 2023 Location: QuikTrip, 5500 Buford Hwy, Doraville, GA Subject: Anthony Grier Charges: Battery Against a Police Officer, Disorderly Conduct, Possession of Drug-Related Object While patrolling the QuikTrip parking lot, officers observed a male subject, later identified as Anthony Grier, asleep in the grass behind the store. In Doraville, sleeping outside is prohibited by city ordinance. Officers made contact with Grier and advised him to leave the premises. Grier became agitated, accusing the officers of targeting him while others were also sleeping nearby. Officers informed him he had four minutes to leave or face arrest. As Grier began walking away, he continued using profanity toward the officers. He was then advised he was under arrest for disorderly conduct. During the attempted arrest, Grier pulled away and was taken to the ground. While resisting, Grier turned toward one of the officers and allegedly spat in his direction. The officer responded by striking Grier with a closed fist. Both officers continued applying force until Grier was fully restrained. Grier sustained visible head injuries during the arrest. A crack pipe was later recovered from his pocket.
