A 40-year-old woman from Hampton was arrested after she crashed through an entrance gate at a campground in Flowery Branch, the Hall County Sheriff’s Office said.
A release from the sheriff’s office said that on Thursday, Feb. 1, the Flowery Branch Police Department and Hall County Sheriff’s Office were called to Old Federal Campground in reference to someone driving through a closed gate.
The sheriff’s office said that a woman, later identified as Starlita Yvonne Moore, drove through the gate and then suddenly drove away. She was later located at Tree Park Apartments.
“Ms. Moore left the apartment complex and began driving back toward Old Federal Campground. HCSO deputies responded, following Ms. Moore down Thurman Tanner Parkway, Falcon Parkway, Radford Road, McEver Road, and G.C. Crow Road, eventually ending up at the campground,” the release states.
At that point, according to authorities, Moore again crashed through the closed entry gate and drove to the boat ramp. She exited her vehicle and walked into the lake. When law enforcement ordered her to stop, she complied and was taken into custody.
The sheriff’s office said Moore faces two counts of interference with government property, one count of criminal damage to property, and 12 misdemeanor traffic offenses. She is being held at the Hall County Jail on a $49,370 bond.
Old Federal Campground lies on the eastern banks of Lake Lanier in southern Hall County.
