South Precinct officers’ quick response to a robbery at the Waffle House at 318 Harding Place just after midnight Friday led to the arrest of both suspects.
Jonathan Shelton, 26, of Smyrna, and Amanda Hensley, 19, of Highlander Cove, entered the Waffle House with bandannas covering their faces. Shelton indicated he had a gun while Hensley jumped over the counter and took cash from the register.
As the suspects attempted to flee in a red Chevrolet Blazer driven by Shelton, customers flagged down nearby patrol officers who followed the SUV until it turned into a nearby parking lot. Hensley was seen throwing money out of her front passenger window before Shelton stopped at a dead end. Both suspects were taken into custody. Victims positively identified Shelton and Hensley as the robbers.
Shelton is charged with aggravated robbery, resisting arrest, and evading arrest. He is being held in lieu of $65,000 bond. He was convicted of drug possession in July and arrested again for drug possession in October.
Hensley is charged with robbery, evidence tampering, and evading arrest. She is being held in lieu of $40,000 bond.
