Authorities have arrested another teenage suspect in a recent string of armed robberies in Forsyth County, though they say he wasn't involved in Sunday night's fatal grocery store shooting.
According to a Forsyth County Sheriff's report, 18-year-old Darren Slayton has been charged with two counts of armed robbery in connection with the Aug. 26 holdup of the Chevron station at Hwy. 20 and James Burgess Road.
Slayton was arrested about 6:23 p.m. Tuesday outside his Verde Glen Lane residence in Cumming, according to the report.
The report said Slayton had been implicated as being a part of the group committing the armed robberies in Forsyth and Gwinnett counties.
Slayton, who is being held at the Forsyth County Detention Center, has a first appearance hearing in Magistrate Court this morning.
Three of the suspects in the armed robbery and shooting at the Canton Road Ingles also are scheduled to appear in court today.
