Habersham County Sheriff’s Office investigators have charged a Hall County man after a reported rolling domestic violence incident Monday afternoon.
Hayward Eugene Fuller, 65, of Gainesville, is charged with false imprisonment and possession of methamphetamine following his arrest outside a business on Toccoa Highway near Tom Arrendale Interchange.
Deputies were dispatched just after 5 p.m. Monday, November 3, to a reported carjacking in that area, but investigators say that resulted from confusion on the part of the uninvolved 9-1-1 caller.
The investigation revealed that a female victim in Fuller’s vehicle was being held against her will.
As Fuller and that female traveled down Toccoa Highway, there was an altercation between the two.
When the vehicle stopped at a business, he got out and the female victim got into the driver’s seat and fled from the male. Both individuals got other people to call 9-1-1.
Fuller had an older laceration scab on his arm and during the course of the altercation, it began to bleed leading one 9-1-1 caller to report a stabbing had occurred.
Deputies and other area law enforcement personnel responded to the initial business, then to a second nearby business where the female and vehicle were located.
During the investigation, a quantity of methamphetamine was located inside the vehicle by a K-9 unit.
Fuller was arrested and taken to the Habersham County Detention Center in Clarkesville, where he remained Tuesday afternoon.
