Man arrested for armed robbery in Chattanooga
CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) — A man has been arrested for the March 28th armed robbery of Dollar General in downtown Chattanooga.
49-year-old Abraham Emmanuel Jackson was charged with aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping.
A store clerk reportedly said Jackson had a knife in hand and told her to open the store’s cash register.
She refused, fought back and safely escaped.
Jackson then took two 18-packs of beer and left.
Officials say another Dollar General employee identified Jackson as someone who had stolen beer from the store before.
