Car Accident Leads to Profane Tantrum in Daycare Parking Lot

A Dacula driver was arrested for disorderly conduct after cursing and giving police the bird.

A man was arrested for disorderly conduct after continually cussing and giving an officer the bird after a car accident on Hog Mountain Road in Dacula.

According to a police report, Preston Schexnayder was arrested when officers responded to a car crash on July 17 at the access road next to the Primrose School of Dacula. According to the police report, Schexnayder admitted to crossing a solid double line to pass a slower vehicle. Schexnayder reported that the slower car sped up and forced him off the road.

Police advised Schexnayder that he was as fault in the accident because he crossed the solid double line. Schexnayder responded to police by saying "That's bull**** he ran me off the road." The officer asked Schexnayder not to cuss and noted that the Primrose School was open and adults and small children were entering and exiting the school at the time.

Schexnayder continued to curse and was advised on multiple occasions that if he did not stop he would be cited and arrested for disorderly conduct. Schexnayder returned to his car at this time and police continued to speak to the Schexnayder's mother outside the vehicle. As the officer was returning to his patrol car, Schexnayder again exited his car and began to shout at the officer. Schexnayder said, "f*** you" multiple times while shooting the officer the bird. According to the report, it was at this time that the officer arrested Schexnayder, who upon being handcuffed became non-compliant and continued to use foul language.

The suspect continued spitting and kicking in the back seat of the patrol car and was transported to the Gwinnett County Jail.
