A disturbing incident unfolded in Gordon County over the weekend, with a man from Calhoun arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman multiple times in a vehicle. On the evening of Sunday, April 7, deputies were called to a scene in the Millstone Subdivision after a woman who had been attacked sought help from a nearby home. FOX 5 Atlanta detailed that the woman sustained several stab and cut wounds and disclosed to investigators that the assault took place while she was on Boone Ford Road.
Emergency responders quickly arrived, providing transport for the victim to a local hospital, where she is anticipated to make a recovery; meanwhile, 38-year-old Daniel Edward Woody was located walking along the same road where the alleged attack occurred he was arrested without issue, as deputies swiftly took him into custody, according to a Coosa Valley News report.
The Gordon County Sheriff’s Office expedited their response to the distressing event, which permitted EMS personnel to provide necessary care to the injured woman. In the course of their investigation, deputies and detectives garnered testimonies from those present at the crime scene and gathered critical evidence that included the weapon purportedly used in the attack. Woody now faces charges of Aggravated Assault and Possession of a Knife in the Commission of a Crime.
The narrative of the night's harrowing events has been pieced together from information provided by the victim—whose description of her assailant enabled officers to locate and apprehend Woody shortly after the incident—as well as from evidence collected by authorities. Investigators appear to be closing in on the circumstances that led to the violence which disrupted the quiet of the Millstone Subdivision, forming a crucial part of their ongoing investigation, according to details obtained by Coosa Valley News.
