Nicholas Ryan Brand enters Hall County Magistrate Court on Monday morning for a committal hearing following his arrest after allegedly threatening three security officers at Lanier Islands Resort with a knife.
Three Lanier Islands Resort security officers responded to reports of a man walking around with a knife, according to a Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputy’s testimony Monday. Deputy Mark Mason testified at the committal hearing for Nicholas Ryan Brand, 19, who was accused of holding a knife in a threatening manner to the security officers on May 24. “They had initial reports from people that he was walking around with a knife in his hand,” Mason said.
