Woman arrested for making Threats over Cigarettes

A woman is facing terroristic threat charges after not being able to purchase cigarettes from a local store.  The Rabun County Sheriff’s Office reports that on June 7, deputies responded to the Dollar General in Dillard in reference to a report of threats.  The store manager told deputies that 33-year-old Lana Carolyn Burrell had attempted to purchase cigarettes at closing time but did not have an ID.  She then became aggressive and threatened to cut the manager’s throat when she refused to sell her cigarettes without an ID.  Deputies located Burrell a short distance away from the store and arrested her for making terroristic threats.  She was booked into the Rabun County Detention Center on the charge.
