Hall County inmate accused of stabbing jail officer with a pen
A Braselton woman in the Hall County Jail allegedly stabbed an officer in the face with an ink pen, according to authorities.
Leann Strangler Smith, 42, has been in the jail since Jan. 2 on a State Court arrest order but is now facing charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer and obstruction of an officer.
The arrest order concerns an ongoing State Court case with charges including criminal trespass and misdemeanor obstruction, according to the Hall County Courts docket website.
Hall County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Derreck Booth said Smith was allegedly uncooperative during a routine pill call, which is when inmates receive medications, between 4-5 p.m. Friday, April 9, in the inmate pod.
