Charges against a Gainesville man accused of using pepper-spray in an attempted robbery and later snatching another woman’s purse were forwarded Monday to Hall Superior Court. John Albert Glean, 30, appeared before Hall County Magistrate Tracy Loggins for a preliminary hearing on charges of robbery by sudden snatching, attempted armed robbery, battery and aggravated assault. Gainesville police detective Gordon Hendry testified that a woman was struck, then pepper-sprayed in the face during a Jan. 26 attack outside the Subway restaurant off Shallowford Road.
