4 arrested after father, daughter attacked at Ga. campground

ATLANTA, Ga. - Four people were arrested for allegedly attacking a father and daughter at a Georgia campground, according to police.

Brittanee Hollingsworth said her dad, Bruce Waldon, is in the intensive-care unit after he was cut from the ear to the back of the neck in the attack on Saturday.

“This is just an act of evil and just senselessness,” she said.

Waldon suffered from severe brain bleed and his 20-year-old daughter suffered bruising in the incident.

Ga. cop who killed Rayshard Brooks is charged in bar fight

An Atlanta cop who made headlines in a high-profile 2020 slaying has been charged in connection with a bar fight last month.

“My dad is having a lot of nightmares and just wakes up screaming because he’s afraid that they’re going to come and try to hurt the rest of the family,” Hollingsworth said.

Waldon’s family said the 58-year-old and his daughter were camping at Low Gap Campground when a group allegedly attacked them from behind.

“My dad was eating peanut brittle and fixing his fishing pole and my sister was eating boiled peanuts,” Hollingsworth said. “And my dad was attacked with a beer bottle on the side of the head, and cut him from his ear to the back of his neck, and was passed out on the ground.”

The White County Sheriff’s Office confirmed four people were arrested for assaulting the father and daughter and said Waldon’s daughter stabbed her attacker in self-defense.

Agencies team up in CSRA simulation to plan for emergency

An exercise simulated a mass-casualty incident, prompting participants to test response protocols and more.

Krista Wilson, 44, Joshua Wilson, 42, Joshua Miller, 32, and Charles Miller, 39, were charged with aggravated assault and battery, according to deputies.

The family is speaking out in hopes this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

While police haven’t said if alcohol was a factor, Waldon’s loved ones said if it was, it shouldn’t be allowed in a family-friendly area to prevent incidents like this.

“I don’t understand why you would do this to a man that was with his daughter for a camping trip,” Hollingsworth said. “My dad would give the shirt off his back.”

Hollingsworth said she believes there were more suspects involved. The sheriff’s office said it is still an active investigation.
