CHEROKEE COUNTY, GA — Violence at a metro hotel could get a man years in prison.
It happened at a Woodstock hotel where a guest saw a man severely beating a woman.
The witness helped get the woman away from 33-year-old Girbauderek Nichols and called police.
Nichols pulled a knife and threatened the good Samaritan.
After police arrived, he threatened to kill a police officer, as well.
The woman suffered severe facial injuries.
A Cherokee County jury took just two hours to convict Nichols of a host of violent crimes, including kidnapping, aggravated assault and terroristic threatening.
