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, 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 woman in Fuller’s vehicle was being held against her will.
As Fuller and that woman traveled down Toccoa Highway, there was an altercation
between the two. When the vehicle stopped at a business, he got out and the 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 woman 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.
