At roughly midnight July 31, officers were dispatched to 43 Norman St., regarding a possibly deceased person, Toccoa Police Chief Jimmy Mize reported following the incident.
The female resident of the apartment returned from a week’s stay in the hospital, returned home and was unable to open the door, according to Mize. Upon looking in the rear door of the residence, she saw an unknown man against the door and dialed 9-1-1.
