A man with previous felony convictions is now facing federal charges for his alleged involvement in a 2024 armed robbery at an Atlanta pawn shop. Quintavious Bailey, 34, is accused of firing a gun into the ceiling of the establishment while employees and customers were present.
Authorities state that Bailey then brandished his weapon at customers and demanded that staff open a cash register and a jewelry display case. He reportedly absconded with money and jewelry.
Bailey was indicted on June 3rd for Hobbs Act robbery, possessing ammunition as a convicted felon, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He is currently detained without bail.
Given his history, which includes convictions for burglary and armed robbery in Fulton County, Bailey faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in prison if convicted on the firearm and ammunition charges.
