A week after his arrest in Flowery Branch, a Gainesville man facing several drug-related charges, remained in the Hall County Jail late Wednesday afternoon.
William Michael Allison, 35, had called authorities saying he believed someone had shot at his vehicle. But after a bit of investigating, Hall County sheriff’s deputies concluded that’s not what happened.
The case unfolded in the early morning hours of last Wednesday.
