Analtercation at the Waffle House on West Avenue in Cartersville ended with the arrest of a Taylorsville man on a felony charge of aggravated assault. According to a report from the Cartersville Police Department, officers responded to the restaurant after a dispute escalated into violence.
The incident began inside the Waffle House when 29-year-old Bryceton Taylor Abernathy was reportedly yelling at a woman. The woman’s brother intervened, confronting Abernathy. Although the group paid for their meals and left the restaurant, tensions flared again outside.
