Investigators with Atlanta Police said they went to the apartment with a search warrant on June 24 and found three people inside; a fourth was seen walking away from the apartment. He tried to run from officers but was found "a short distance away."
Two of the four were violent repeat offenders; one was a 31-year-old with 13 run-ins with law enforcement. He's been previously charged with aggravated assault on police, obstruction, aggravated battery and robbery, according to the department.
"We are proud of the work our investigators put into this case, and we are relieved to have these two violent, repeat offenders and their young counterparts off our streets," Atlanta Police said.
