James Carver charged with battery, false imprisonment

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a Dahlonega man last week charged with battery and false imprisonment.

According to the arrest report, Michelle Louise Carver said her husband, James Douglas Carver, 37, had physically and verbally abused her during a domestic dispute at their residence on Ben Higgins Road.

She said her husband is always been abusive but she has never reported it because she was afraid of him. She added that in the most recent incident, he was mad and began punching holes in the wall and making threats toward her, telling her to “sleep with one eye open.” When she tried to leave, he pushed her and held her down on the ground.

When he let her go, she tried to leave in her vehicle, he followed her outside and jumped in front of her car to block her from leaving. He then jumped inside the car and continued to argue. When he finally let her go, she went to the sheriff’s office to report the incident.

Deputies went to the couple’s residence but did not find him. He was arrested Sept. 24 on a warrant.
