According to the Rabun County court documents, Dontavious Carter was found guilty of felony aggravated assault earlier in this month, referring back to a case in the August of 2016. Authorities said that Carter dragged Amber Fountain out of bed, choked her and threw her out of a camper they were in. “If he had choked me a little bit longer I would not be here,” said Amber Fountain.

In a report from the Rabun County Sheriff’s Office, Fountain told to deputies that when she tried to fight him off, he started to choke her more and more harder.

“He was just angry, he was beyond angry,” Fountain said.

About two weeks after being found guilty in the Rabun County and sentenced to the five year probation, Carter was arrested and charged with cruelty to the children after authorities said he beat his step-son, DJ Alford for 30 minutes, who became non-responsive and was later declared dead at the hospital.

The Clayton County arrest warrants states Carter admitted that he “whooped” the child for failing to count from 1 to 15. The arrest warrant goes on and said that “when shown pictures of the deceased juvenile, Carter stated that all of the injuries sustained were caused by him while disciplining the child.”

Fountain said that she pleaded with the court to give Carter jail time during her assault case, but they did not and her heart breaks for what little DJ went through.
