In LaGrange, a dramatic incident unfolded last month when a masked assailant forcefully entered a home on Gordon Street. The perpetrator held a mother and her son at gunpoint, compelling them to open a safe. From the safe, the suspect stole jewelry before making his escape.
Authorities have since identified the suspect as Skylar Huzzie. Huzzie was apprehended over the weekend and faces multiple serious charges. These include two counts each of armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. He also faces charges for aggravated peeping tom, burglary, damage, elder exploitation, and hindering a 911 call.
Huzzie is currently being held at the Troup County Jail as the legal process continues.
