GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga — A 28-year-old Sugar Hill man was arrested in connection to an armed robbery case.
On Friday, a Gwinnett County officer was flagged down by a citizen. The citizen told police that her uncle was robbed at gunpoint while trying to change a tire near the Buford Drive and Interstate 985 ramp.
Other officers responded and set up a perimeter. The victim said the suspect, identified as Johnny Roque, 28, of Sugar Hill, walked past him on the side of the road and asked him for a ride.
When the victim declined, authorities said, Roque put a gun to the victim’s lower back. Gwinnett officials said Roque then told the victim to walk near the tree line and ordered him to the ground.
The suspect then took a bank envelope containing a large amount of cash from the victim’s pocket and ran away, according to police.
Bodycam video shows when an officer found Roque walking near the incident location on I-985. Roque was arrested.
The cash matching the amount the victim’s was missing was also found on Roque. He was booked into the Gwinnett County jail.
