Suspect taken to City Hall East
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
At about 1:20 p.m., Brian Nichols was driven from FBI headquarters in DeKalb County to Atlanta City Hall East, where Atlanta police have their homicide unit. He was booked for the murders of Judge Rowland Barnes, Deputy Hoyt Teasley and court reporter Julia Ann Brandau, as well as other charges. He was expected to remain in federal custody after the booking.
Nichols was taken into custody about 11:30 a.m. at an apartment complex in Gwinnett County. He was arrested without incident by Gwinnett County S.W.A.T. officers. He was handcuffed and driven under heavy guard to FBI regional headquarters, on Clairmont Road in DeKalb County, where he was charged with the murder of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent David Wilhelm, who was found shot to death in a house in Buckhead Saturday morning. Wilhelm’s blue pickup truck apparently was stolen by Nichols, who then drove it to Gwinnett.
