“The vehicle and driver match the description of a suspect who committed an armed robbery in the city,” he said. “Within a short period of time, Marietta officers located the suspect vehicle and attempted to conduct a traffic stop.”
The suspect was taken into custody and lanes reopened by 11:30 a.m., according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
