A man accused of using pepper spray on a cashier to rob a Marietta Goodwill store has been arrested, police said.

Bradley John Tahlser, 41, of Marietta, is also suspected in similar Goodwill robberies in Woodstock and Douglasville, Cobb County police spokesman Sgt. Dana Pierce said.

When the employee of the Shallowford Road Goodwill opened the cash register, she was sprayed in the face by the suspect with what was believed to be pepper spray.

As the victim was reacting to being sprayed, the suspect took the drawer from the cash register and ran out the front door.
