CAROLINE COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A Georgia man was arrested after a Caroline County woman was attacked at a hotel on Saturday, with the victim saying she feigned death to try and avoid further harm. At about 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18, an unidentified 48-year-old woman came to the Caroline County Fire Station 10 in the Carmel Church area for help after a "brutal assault" at the nearby Super 8 Hotel, according to the Caroline County Sheriff's Office.
