A Buford man was being held without bond in the Hall County Jail Monday afternoon following his weekend arrest after he reportedly brandished a gun during a confrontation with a motorist.
HCSO NARRATIVE:
“Hall County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) deputies…arrested Shawn Marcel Baumgartner, 54, in the 2000 block of Beard’s Road…
According to preliminary details, the male victim, 25, was driving a dump truck on Beard’s Road and stopped because a vehicle in front of him had stopped.
