The ruling also included an injunction that would prevent Evans or anyone in his family from filing suit against the residents again.
The ruling was a victory for the residents, who mostly lived on Old Gordon Road in Dry Branch. Judge Helton has issued a hearing set for 9 a.m. on November 13th to discuss legal feels, litigation, and court costs. Evans has been ordered to come from Colorado for the hearing at the Twiggs County Courthouse in Jeffersonville.
