James Allen Johnson, 44, charged with Monday's stabbing of Walker County Sheriff's Office Corporal J. D. Holland was extradited from the Hamilton County jail to the Walker County jail about 5 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson.
Johnson waived extradition to Georgia in a first appearance hearing Wednesday in Hamilton County Court.
Johnson was booked and charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer and violation of parole (Johnson was released from prison in May 2016).
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the assault.
