A man charged with multiple violent crimes was arrested Friday after fleeing from a domestic incident in Johns Creek, police said.
For a week, authorities said they had been searching for Javonte Deon Jarrett, 28, after he ran from an apartment complex in the 300 block of Caswyck Trace when officers arrived around 10 a.m. on May 12. While Jarrett remained at large, he was considered “armed and dangerous.”
Johns Creek police and the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team located Jarrett after executing a search warrant at a Paulding home. He was later taken to the Fulton County Jail.
According to online records, Jarrett is facing charges of rape, kidnapping, aggravated sodomy, aggravated assault, third-degree cruelty to children, false imprisonment, possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime and hindering persons from making an emergency call.
The domestic incident involved Jarrett, his two children and a woman, Johns Creek police spokeswoman Debra Coble confirmed. The relationship between Jarrett and the woman was not provided.
Coble said the situation that led to Jarrett’s charges began May 11 and continued until officers arrived the following morning.
