Alianna “Yanna” Mae Bottoms, 27, is in custody on a charge of aggravated assault over an incident that occurred Feb. 25. According to an incident report from the Richmond Cunty Sheriff’s Office a homeless man was found with a gunshot wound just after 9 p.m. Feb. 25 in the 600 block of Tuttle Street. A woman said she was inside her home nearby when she heard someone yelling for help. When she walked outside, she saw the man across the street. He came over to her yard and said he’d been shot. The neighbor called 911, and the victim was taken to a hospital with life-threatening wounds, deputies reported.
