Police: Man in Atlanta grocery had 6 guns, wore body armor

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — A sharp-eyed Instacart worker is getting credit for averting what could have been an awful crime in Atlanta, where a man brought body armor, ammunition and at least five guns into a grocery store.

Charles Russell spotted the man with one of the rifles inside the Publix store's bathroom and urged a manager to call 911. Police then arrested the man without a shot being fired.

Twenty-two-year-old Rico Marley waived his initial court hearing Thursday on charges including weapons possession during an attempt to commit felonies.

Investigators also said he was undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. It’s unclear whether he had an attorney.
