Northwest Georgia man accused of repeatedly stabbing mother during dispute

A Gordon County man is behind bars after he repeatedly stabbed his mother during an altercation at their home Monday evening, authorities said.

Deputies were dispatched to a home on Landing Drive near Resaca about 11:20 p.m. after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance, said Robert Paris, chief deputy of the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office.

Police arrived to find a 63-year-old woman bleeding in the front yard from multiple cuts and stab wounds, Paris said.
Inside the home, deputies found the woman's son, 46-year-old Donald Dwayne Oliver, sitting on the couch. They also recovered a knife believed to be used in the stabbing.
