An Armuchee man has been arrested and faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault and terroristic threats, following an incident at his Old Dalton Road home and a subsequent event at a local hospital.

Donnie Eugene Lingerfelt, 52, was taken into custody recently after allegedly threatening a man with a knife and later making threats against the same man to a nurse.

According to Floyd County jail records, the initial incident occurred at Lingerfelt’s Old Dalton Road residence. Lingerfelt allegedly threatened to physically assault a man before approaching the victim while armed with a knife.

Later, while at a local hospital, Lingerfelt reportedly continued his menacing behavior. Records indicate he grabbed a nurse’s arm and explicitly stated his intention to kill the man involved in the earlier altercation.

As a result of these incidents, Lingerfelt has been charged with aggravated assault, two counts of terroristic threats and acts, and a single count of simple battery.

He is currently being held at the Floyd County Jail.
