On September 15th, 2023, at approximately 7:42AM, officers responded to the Sonesta Select hotel located at 1132 Techwood Drive NW in reference to a business robbery. Upon arrival, officers spoke to the management team for the hotel who notified officers that an unidentified male had entered the hotel and pointed a firearm at them and stole over $100 in cash. After obtaining a good physical description of the suspect, the responding officer requested additional officers to the area and canvassed for the suspect. While the responding officer canvassed for the suspect, he was flagged down by two good Samaritans who notified the officer that the suspect was walking down the sidewalk along the roadway close by. Multiple officers then saturated the area and were able to locate the suspect. With the assistance of officers with the Georgia Tech Police Department, the suspect was safely apprehended. Both the Walther Uzi .22 caliber firearm that the suspect used in the robbery and the money that he stole from the hotel were recovered by the officers. The suspect was identified as 37-year-old Ramone Rivers. Mr. Rivers was charged with Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault (X2), Possession of a Firearm in the Commission of a Felony, Theft by Receiving, and Theft by Taking. Mr. Rivers was transported to the Fulton County jail.
