Since they are making sh*t up, I would say they are making that sh*t up too. What did he do, punch him? I doubt it. Did he shoot at him? I doubt it.
What other thing could he have done to Arbery that would have been regarded as an "attack"?
GBI is full of sh*t. They need a good house cleaning. They are corrupt, like the FBI.
You don’t need to physically attack a person to get charged with aggravated assault.
Don’t confuse aggravate assault with battery
