Later in the day, and for no apparent reason, the suspect became irate and threatened an employee saying she was “going to kill her”. Police arrested twenty-eight-year-old Amber Hovater and while they were arresting her, found her to be in possession of suspected methamphetamine. Hovater was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of methamphetamine and was booked into the Chattooga County Jail on Wednesday of last week.
