A teenager suspected in the attempted armed robbery of a woman at the Clarksville Post Office is now in custody. Police Chief Brad Barrett says 17-year old Samuel Rashad Wright turned himself in Wednesday night.
Wright allegedly wrapped a white T-shirt around his face and attempted to rob a woman in the post office parking lot Tuesday night. The woman told police the suspect pointed a gun at her through her car window. She honked her horn and he fled.
The K9 unit was brought in and a replica Glock handgun was found in a grassy area off Ellison Street. Clarkesville Police Chief Brad Barrett says he suspects Wright is a homeless youth who was living in the area off Ellison Street.
Chief Barrett thanks the public, the GBI and the Habersham Sheriff’s office for their assistance in the case.
