After the attack, Stancil stumbled to a neighbor's house for help. She was taken to an Athens area hospital and then airlifted to another hospital in Augusta, where she spent the weekend in intensive care.Shannon has been transported to the city of Winder, where he is charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of aggravated battery.
