A “violent fugitive” from Atlanta hiding in an attic at an Eagle Heights apartment was arrested on Christmas Day by Bulloch County law enforcement. Anthony Bates, 24, was wanted on active arrest warrants for involvement in an armed robbery and aggravated assault in Fulton County, said Bulloch Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Jared Akins. Law enforcement agents have been looking for Bates since early December, when the Statesboro-Bulloch Crime Suppression Team received notice that “a violent fugitive from Atlanta was hiding out in the area of Lanier Drive,” he said.
