A man will serve life in prison for the armed robbery of a Canton jewelry store 10 years ago.

Law enforcement said on that day, Arms wearing a mask, gloves, and a red Alabama sweatshirt entered the Cartersville Jewelry Exchange and once inside the store, he pointed a silver handgun at two employees and ordered them to get on the floor.
He left the scene in a vehicle that was determined to be stolen in Atlanta earlier that month.
When Arms fled the scene, a witness driving by the jewelry store saw him flee the store and followed Arms in his car, which was equipped with a dash cam that recorded the truck’s path of travel from the jewelry store.
After Arms abandoned the truck on Hidden Creek Lane, another witness saw someone toss a red sweatshirt and gloves on the I-575 on-ramp.
