During a press conference on Monday, May 23, Henderson County Sheriff Lowell Griffin said both the son and grandson of 60-year-old Paulette “Paula” Clark had been arrested and charged in connection with her death.
Authorities say Clark, who had been a staple at The Dixie Diner in Laurel Park and later became owner, was assaulted on May 6, 2022, and passed away on Friday, May 13, as a result of the injuries she sustained. Sheriff Griffin said she was beaten with the butt of an air rifle and shot in the eye with it by the assailant, who authorities later discovered was her grandson.
