Athens police arrest suspect in multiple shootings

Athens-Clarke County police have arrested an Athens man in connection with two shootings in the Classic City last year.

Police took 20-year-old Ytrevious Roberson into custody on February 10, 2023. They charged him with several counts of aggravated assault, violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

According to Athens-Clarke County Police Lt. Shaun Barnett, the charges stem from two separate shootings that took place in 2022. The first occurred on January 13, 2022, in the 100 block of Chatham Drive. The second shooting occurred on December 29, 2022, in the 300 block of Carver Drive.

“During the course of Roberson’s arrest, an individual was found to be concealing Roberson in an attempt to prevent his apprehension by law enforcement,” says Barnett.

Police identified the individual as Douglas Dalton Jr., 26, of Athens. They arrested and charged him with hindering apprehension of a criminal.
