The Dalton Police Department has obtained a warrant for the arrest of 19 year old Joana Cisneros in connection with the botched Nov. 27, drug deal that led to a shooting on Wrinkle Street and police are asking for help from the public with locating her. Ms. Cisneros is wanted on a charge of conspiracy to commit a felony for her role in facilitating the drug deal. Three other arrests have already been made in the case.

Dalton investigators say that on Nov. 27, at approximately 5 p.m., 19-year old Nathan Brett Hastey and 17-year old Elijah Damon Ensley went to 408 Wrinkle Street to sell marijuana to 18-year old James M. Walton and 20-year old Donte Jackson. Hastey and Ensley have already surrendered to police and were arrested on charges of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. The Dalton Police Department’s investigation determined that Jackson and Walton intended to rob Hastey and Ensley instead of following through with the drug transaction. Investigators say Jackson produced a handgun and the robbery attempt led to a fight between the parties. During a struggle for the handgun, a single shot was fired which struck Walton in the face and exited before lodging in his shoulder. Donte Jackson was arrested on Nov. 30, and charged with two counts each of armed robbery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and one count each of tampering with evidence and aggravated battery. Walton is still recovering from his injuries.

Joana Cisneros, who was in a relationship with Walton, was present at the time of the incident and facilitated the drug deal by leading Hastey and Ensley into the apartment. Ms. Cisneros had previously arranged to turn herself in to police on her warrant on Jan. 4, but she failed to do so.

Ms. Cisneros is a Hispanic female standing approximately four feet tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to please contact Detective Brian Shirley at 706 278-9085, ext. 9189
