A man known as a "regular customer" who was wanted in connection with the armed robbery of a Gwinnett County convenience store has been arrested, authorities said.

Quaris L. Holland, 20, of Auburn, was arrested in Connecticut by the U.S. Marshals Service, Gwinnett police said Wednesday.

Holland has not yet been booked into the Gwinnett jail, police said. Further details were not available.

In November, Holland went into a store on Sugarloaf Parkway wearing a black hoodie, pulled a gun, told the clerk to empty the register and then walked out, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previously reported.

“He was a regular customer,” manager Vilesh Asher said at the time.

The suspect also worked at a KFC across the street, Channel 2 Action News reported.

“It’s been like six months he’s been coming every single day, so this was a shock,” Asher said.
