A Trion man has been indicted by a Chattooga County Grand Jury in connection with a January assault that prosecutors say left the victim without the use of his arm.

According to the indictment, Brian Hayes George, of 1184 Spring Creek Road in Trion, was formally indicted on one count of aggravated battery stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred on January 26.

The indictment alleges that George “maliciously caused bodily harm” to Matthew Rex Porter by depriving him of the use of his arm.

No additional details about the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault were included in the court filing.

Under Georgia law, aggravated battery is a felony offense. The charge carries the possibility of a prison sentence if a defendant is convicted in court.

An indictment is a formal accusation and is not a determination of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
