A third suspect

has been arrested for the July 1 armed robbery of an east Fayette convenience

store.

The suspect,

identified through court papers as Justin Ushery, 15, of Clayton County,

has been charged with one felony count of armed robbery, two felony counts

of aggravated assault and one felony count of kidnapping.

Police believe

the suspect entered Jackson's General Store on Ga. Highway 54 East at

Corinth Road, brandishing a knife and leaving with $500 in cash, some

lottery tickets and some cigars, said Sgt. Belinda McCastle of the Fayette

County Sheriff's Department.

McCastle declined

to name the suspect because he is a juvenile.

The two other

suspects previously arrested in connection with the incident also live

in Clayton County: Jerome Daniel Price, 19, and Warren Devale Balam Jr.,

18. Police said Price drove the getaway car and Balam entered the store

as a lookout.

Police believe

Balam wore a Halloween mask to disguise his identity while Ushery wore

a bandana that disguised his face under his eyes.

No one was

hurt during the incident.
