According a media release by the Chamblee Police Department, three men burglarized the Wireless World cellphone store, located at 4401 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, at 8:25 p.m. on Oct. 13.
Police said the men tied up the business owner at gunpoint and robbed him. When police responded to a silent alarm, one suspect escaped out the back door.
The suspect, 36-year-old Cornelius Mario Cook, was later identified by investigators and was arrested Oct. 17, at approximately 1:30 p.m.
Cook was arrested by employees of the Georgia Department of Corrections when he reported to his probation officer. The Chamblee Police Department also assisted in his apprehension.
Cook was charged with aggravated assault, armed robbery, false imprisonment and burglary and is currently being held in the DeKalb County Jail.
The other two suspects tried to hide in the ceiling, but eventually surrendered to the North Metro SWAT team. Rico Raymond Cook, 39, of Atlanta and Randy Eugene Felton, 36, of Lithonia were arrested at the scene of the crime.
