Forsyth County was en route but cancelled prior to getting on scene Lumpkin County Emergency Services made the rescues

DAHLONEGA, GA

According to the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s office, LC first responders saved a female driver and her baby in a river rescue on Friday, December 28.

The vehicle had wrecked and ended up in the river south of Clay Creek Falls and was washing down the river, authorities told Fetch Your News. The Lumpkin County Fire Department tied off the vehicle for stabilization, and then extended a ladder for firefighters to use for retrieval.

Both mother and child were rescued and transported to the hospital for observation. The accident has been turned over to GSP for further investigation. The vehicle was left in Clay Creek Falls due to unsafe conditions.

In a statement from Georgia State Patrol Post Commander, SFC Curtis Bradshaw, Andrea Marie McMeans of Dahlonega, (29) was traveling north on Clay Creek Falls Road in a 1996 Ford Ranger; the passenger was a two-month-old male also from Dahlonega. McMeans attempted to to negotiate a curve to the left, when her vehicle traveled onto the east shoulder and down a small embankment. After the vehicle struck a tree, it traveled into the creek, where the swift current of the rising creek pulled the Ranger approximately 300 feet downstream. The Ranger came to a rest in the middle of the creek facing north.

Due to the rising water in the creek and its swift current, the Forsyth County Swift Water Rescue team was en route to help the driver and passenger get out of the vehicle, but had to cancel prior to arriving on scene. Lumpkin County Emergency Services responded to the accident and were able to rescue McMeans and her infant. The driver and the passenger were transported to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with non-life threatening injuries.

Bradshaw explained in the report that, “arrest warrants were obtained on Ms. McMeans for Failure to Maintain Lane, DUI, and DUI-Child Endangerment. It was raining at the time of the crash and the roadway was wet, and it appeared that the driver was wearing her seat belt and the baby was secured in a rear facing child seat at the time of the crash.”

Dahlonega resident, Victor Acosta, faces possible deportation to Mexico

News

LUMPKIN CO., GA

Lumpkin County resident, Victor Acosta, 30, was arrested in Dahlonega, GA on August 9, after a warrant had been issued for his arrest due to violating the terms of his probation.

While incarcerated in Lumpkin County, he received an additional hold for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE transported Acosta from the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office to the Irwin County Detention Center on Tuesday, August 14. On Friday, August 17, Acosta was transported once again to the Stewart County Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA, where he is currently awaiting an immigration hearing.

Acosta moved to America from Mexico in 2000, and has lived in Lumpkin County for 18 years. Prior to his arrest, he participated in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He had been serving probation for a DUI charge that he received in 2015, and has no other criminal activity on his record. According to Acosta, the results of a mandated drug test showed traces of amphetamine in his system, which goes against the terms set in his probation.

During a phone interview with Fetch Your News, Acosta expressed his confusion over the situation, “anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t take amphetamines.” Acosta explained, “I can’t wrap my brain around how this happened.” 

An Atlanta immigration attorney is currently representing Acosta, who is expected to receive a bond hearing before going before a judge for an immigration hearing. Acosta and his attorney are hopeful that members of the community who have known Victor, and can attest to his good moral character, will show support by writing a letter of recommendation, “anyone who can write a letter in support of my being released to go home to Dahlonega, please do so immediately.”
