Two local men

have been arrested for robbing a north Fayette man at gunpoint the evening

of Friday, Aug. 23.

William D.

Jones of Fayetteville and Tariq I. Rachaman of Fairburn are both charged

with armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping.

Fayette sheriff's

detective Aaron Fenimore said that that Jones held a gun to the victim's

head and took cash from his pockets while Rachaman held a metal pipe to

the victim's throat. Both suspects then forced the victim to walk behind

a nearby shed, remove his clothing and lie face down on the ground, according

to arrest warrants filed with the Fayette County Magistrate Court.

At one point

during the altercation, Jones verbally threatened to shoot the victim

if he did not comply with Jones' orders, the warrant states.

Bond for each

suspect has been set at $75,000.
