A man suspected of child enticement surrendered to authorities following an hour-and-a-half standoff Thursday at Laurel Park. When Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputies attempted to take Samuel Lamar Peppers, 36, of Covington into custody around 9 a.m., he pulled a gun, sheriff’s office spokeswoman Deputy Nicole Bailes said. The suspect was trying to meet a 14-year-old at the park, she said.
