A man is undergoing medical evaluation after a brief encounter with police outside Ethicon in Cornelia this morning. The incident happened around 11 am outside the company’s front gate on Historic Highway 441.
In a press release issued this afternoon, the Cornelia Police Department says officers responded to a call concerning a white male holding a sword, acting strangely. “Once officers arrived, the male subject was holding a sword, but did drop it when given commands.”
A Habersham County Med Unit was called to the scene. The man was transported, without incident, to the emergency room at Habersham County Medical Center for evaluation.
His name was not released.
No charges were filed.
