Who is Bill House? And isn't Vortex now owned by a corporation based out of Destin?

PONCE DE LEON — A Holmes County man has been arrested on a charge of aggravated battery after he accused an employee of stealing $30,000 and allegedly attacked him Monday with a baseball bat.

Sgt. John Tate of the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office said Lowell Kelly, owner of Vortex Springs, believed that one of his employees, Bill House, had stolen $30,000 from Kelly’s home.

Tate said Kelly took House out on Valley Road off State 81 on Monday, ostensibly to look at a job. When they got to a field on the road, Tate said Kelly confronted House about the alleged theft, and House denied involvement. Kelly then allegedly pulled a baseball bat out the back of his truck and assaulted House, causing injuries that required stitches.

Kelly is charged with aggravated battery, a felony charge. Tate said Kelly has been released on bond.

I saw that in the news..... I thought about posting it, but wasn't sure as I couldn't remember the owners name.

This could get interesting



EDIT: Lowell Kelly is listed as the owner of Vortex in this thread where Doc Dockery (the past owner) was in a pissing contest with him
