A Saturday night outside Lenox Mall in Buckhead ended with two men in handcuffs after police say a parking-area stickup left two victims stripped of clothing and cash. Officers responding to the scene detained two suspects nearby, and authorities say both were later booked into the county jail.
What police say
Atlanta police say they were called just after 9 p.m. Saturday to the mall at 3393 Peachtree Rd NE, where two people reported being robbed at gunpoint in a parking-area encounter. According to officers, clothing and money were taken. Police say they quickly located and detained two men at or near the scene, then transported them to the Fulton County Jail for processing. The suspects were identified as Jaquarez Parks and Isaac Phillips, who both face armed robbery charges along with counts for possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, according to 11Alive.
Where they were booked
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office lists the main intake for arrests at 901 Rice Street NW in Atlanta and notes that arrestees are processed there and typically see a judge within 24 hours. Family members and attorneys can check the county's inmate-search portal for booking status and bond information. Details on intake and inmate services are available from the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.
Legal note
Under Georgia law, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony is a separate offense and carries a mandatory five-year sentence that must run consecutively to any other sentence. The statute is codified at O.C.G.A. § 16-11-106; see Georgia Code § 16-11-106 for the statutory language.
Investigation continues
Atlanta police say detectives are continuing the investigation and are asking anyone with information or video of the incident to contact investigators. Non-emergency contact details and tip options are listed on the Atlanta Police Department website.
