Fayetteville police have arrested all three suspects wanted in connection with an armed robbery that occurred the night of Feb. 14. Juan Carr, 23, and Malik Amos, 26, were taken into custody soon after officers responded to a 9:40 p.m. alert at the Summit Point shopping center at 834 S. Glynn Street.

The department said Carr and Amos allegedly pistol-whipped two victims before fleeing northbound on Ga. 85 in a car that was soon apprehended by officers. The third suspect, 22-year-old Nicholas White, reportedly took the keys to one of the victim’s vehicles and escaped, but the car was found in DeKalb County and White was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Feb. 24.

All three men have been charged with two counts of armed robbery and aggravated assault; Carr has also been charged with felony violation of Georgia’s Controlled Substances Act, with Amos being charged with a misdemeanor under the same statute. White was charged with theft by taking (auto).
