An alert customer saved the lives of shoppers and employees at an Atlanta grocery store when he spotted a suspicious man in body armor and guns and notified the staff.
When police arrested Rico Marley at the Publix grocery store, they discovered that the 22-year-old had been carrying a semiautomatic rifle, a shotgun, and four handguns.
Marley was in body armor and also had a cache of ammunition. He was busted without incident and charged with reckless conduct.
“I saw an AR-15 and I was like…you know, this kind of startled me, again with the events that just recently happened in the grocery store up in Colorado,” witness Charles Russell, who first saw the suspect and alerted workers, said.
“I went to the clerk at the customer service desk working at the time and let them know. It wasn’t acted upon right away. It was actually taken a little more lightly than I thought it would be, especially with the recent events.”
