Longtime Clermont resident Tommy Doster, Double Cola in hand, walks Friday along Main Street in downtown Clermont after a getting a haircut nearby. Residents of the small North Hall community are still in shock from the recent reports that a resident was stabbed and raped.
More than two weeks after a 24-year-old woman reported she was stabbed and raped at a North Hall home, no arrest has been made and little information about the case has been released. Hall County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chad Mann said Friday there is no new information to release on the case, and that “evidence is still being gathered.” The incident happened between 8:30 and 9:09 a.m. July 31 at a home on Avalon Commons Way, according to the incident report.
