J.J. Hickson was arrested on Friday 15th of June in Coweta County under charges of “frightening home invasion”, per Kerry Charles of FOX 5 Atlanta.
Deputies revealed that at least two people were involved in the invasion but only Hickson was charged so far: “The victim was beaten up pretty good and they took some personal items from the residence and at that point in time through the help of a canvass we were able to identify a suspect and a suspect vehicle. We were able to identify a suspect from that.”, Captain John Kennedy of Coweta County Sheriff’s Office explained.
The charges include armed robbery in connection with a home invasion and he is expected to go before a judge on Saturday. While getting escorted to Coweta County Jail, Hickson remained quiet and did not answer any questions.
