TOWNS COUNTY, Ga. — A homeowner was commended for her quick actions after holding a burglary suspect up at gunpoint while waiting for authorities to arrive.

Towns County Sheriff officials said on May 20, deputies received a call from a home on Gumlog Road regarding someone rummaging through vehicles.

When deputies arrived, they identified the two suspects as 18-year-old Hunter Chase Adams and 21-year-old Travis Richard Foskey, both of Young Harris, as the two who had broken into several cars in the area however both had fled the scene before being arrested by police.

A short time later, deputies received a call from a homeowner in the same area who said she was holding a suspect at gunpoint.

The victim told deputies when she got home, she was met at the front door by the suspect, who was wearing her husband’s clothing. Deputies determined that the suspect had broken into her home.

When deputies arrived on the scene, the suspect, identified as Adams, attempted to run but was tackled by deputies and placed under arrest.

All true. We’re headed to our rural compound in Habersham just outside Cornelia today. We suspect there is meth being cooked on the acreage adjoining ours. The drug task force is working the area and one of our neighbors has turned them in. I think they are soon headed to the slam. Fortunately these people are as dumb as rocks. Everyone up there is armed to the teeth.

This is Georgia Hon. Nobody’s going to jail for shooting meth heads on their property. 😏

Yeah, you’re probably right. I didn’t realize they were white.

While meth head, black meth head makes no difference. Not in Georgia.

Okay. Didn’t the Arbery case happen in Georgia? Didn’t they put a guy in jail for 35 years for just FILMING the incident in Georgia? That was Georgia, wasn’t it?

I read that article a couple times, and in my mind just thought ‘north Hall.’ But clearly this was in Towns county. WAAAAY north GA ;-)

Gumlog road is a LONG road by name, and winds through some really beautiful country up there. Runs from Nottely Lake to over by Young Harris.

That’s a very different case. They chased that guy down, confronted him with firearms and in the struggle the ‘suspicious person’ was shot.

Can’t really call it justifiable. understandable, but not justifiable.

You don’t know the details of the case. The only struggle was the criminal trying to grab someone’s gun. In Georgia, a Georgia jury put the guy who FILMED the incident in jail for 35 years, in Georgia. Did this happen in Georgia?

Yeah, I’ve got friends just north of Young Harris, and this looked to be a little ways NW of there very near the NC border.

I’m SW of there a ways, but still rural/exurban N. GA.

“I can tell you aren’t from Georgia.”

I can tell you can’t argue your point. I was born in Columbus, Ga., and lived in Augusta for most of the first 10 years of my life.

You still can’t even try to make an argument on the discussion, but you want to embarrass yourself again. I live in the woods about as far south as you can get in Alabama. About 2 miles north of the Mauvilla area. Look it up. How does it feel to throw what you consider insults at somebody only to find that you’re 100% wrong? Do you even recognize how foolish that makes you look? You’ve done it twice now.

OK so you’re pretty much from Alabama. Why not just say so to start with? You have no clue what the law is in N Georgia or how it gets applied. You haven’t lived in Georgia since you were 10 years old. Which means you never knew the Georgia gun laws.

I never said one single word about Georgia gun laws. You disputed my comment that if a criminal tries to take your gun and you shoot him in Georgia you could go to jail for the rest of your life. My reference was the Arbery case. Did that happen, and were the guys involved convicted by a Georgia jury, including the guy who just filmed the incident?

Why are you trying to spotlight your ignorance of Georgia gun laws by citing the Arbery case? It has nothing to do with the castle doctrine or stand your ground when an intruder comes on your property. If you leave your property and chase people in a vehicle and kill them that’s murder. You need to give this up and go argue whether its likely to rain tomorrow. 😆

That’s sad. I’m not even in Georgia and I know more about this case than you do. That’s not what happened.

Three men chased an innocent jogger through a neighborhood and murdered him. It had nothing to do with killing an intruder in your house or on your property. Give.it.up.
