It took four months, but two suspects are now in custody for an armed holdup in Athens.
Arrest warrants were signed in July for Quintavis Tillman and Alyssa Ivey, both 22. They’re accused of robbing a 29-year-old Athens man at gunpoint in broad daylight on Jefferson Road on July 5, 2022.
On October 30, officers arrested Ivey, of Eatonton, for being a party to the crime of armed robbery. With assistance from the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office, police arrested Tillman, of Athens, the following day. They charged him with armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
Athens-Clarke County Police Lt. Shaun Barnett says the investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Detective Harrison at 762-400-7361, or via email at [email protected].
