A man reportedly struck a woman in his vehicle, bloodying her face, as the two traveled from Hall County to Jackson County.
According to a report filed by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO), Jackson County authorities were alerted when a woman called Hall County dispatch and said her ex-boyfriend was hitting her in a truck and wouldn’t pull over to let her out as they entered Jackson County. According to the JCSO report, Braselton police stopped the vehicle on Lewis Braselton Blvd. and held a person at gunpoint. The report later said Braselton officers handcuffed a male on the ground.
A Jackson County deputy talked with the woman while a medical unit was en route. According to the JCSO report, the woman’s face, arms and clothes were covered in blood from being struck. Medical workers arrived on the scene and treated the woman.
Oakwood police then responded and took over the scene.
