Years of racial epithets and threats from a neighbor forced a Gainesville family from their home recently, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Hall County Superior Court that tags city government as a defendant. Defendants have 30 days to file a formal response. Gregory and Sophia Bonds allege Roy Hubert Turner Jr. subjected their family, which includes three teenagers, to “racial slurs, verbal intimidation and threatened physical injury, including death, every time he encountered them.”
