JONESBORO — Five teenagers held at gunpoint by a Clayton County police officer Monday evening were identified as the same five teens seen with a gun in the parking lot of a business on Flint River Road.
According to a clerk at the Quik Stop, the teens were inside the store “trying to steal.” In a 911 call to police, the clerk identified one of the young men as having a gun.
This is the second of two 911 calls made to police about a group of teenagers holding a weapon in the parking lot of a gas station on Flint River Road.
