Kevin Mark Soles, Jr.

JEFF COX
CRAWFORD COUNTY, Ga. — A man wanted for armed robbery was shot and killed by officers attempting to serve him an arrest warrant in Crawford County, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation states.

According to the GBI, 37-year-old Kevin Mark Soles, Jr. was wanted in Bibb County but was at a home in Byron.

Crawford County deputies went to the home on Jordan Rd. to arrest Soles Wednesday afternoon.

The GBI states that they located Soles, but he escaped into some nearby woods.

Crawford County asked for backup from the Peach County Sheriff’s Office, Byron Police Department, Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, and Georgia Department of Corrections K9.

Authorities found Soles in the woods and allege that he was holding a gun. The GBI said officers spent hours trying to negotiate with him to surrender.

The GBI states that officers tried to fire “less lethal” rounds at Soles in order to arrest him.

While trying to put Soles in custody, the suspect reportedly pointed his gun at officers. An officer fired back, hitting him.

9-year-old Florida girl protects mom from suspected robber with barrage of punches: ‘Right in the face’
Video catches when suspect tried to steal her mom’s purse

By Pilar Arias
A 9-year-old girl in Florida was awarded by police after they say she fought off a robber to protect her mother – and it was all caught on video.

West Palm Beach police say Journee Nelson and her mother were shopping for groceries at Sabor Tropical Supermarket on Nov. 2 when the suspect tried to steal her mom’s purse.

“We walked out the store and then I took a little glance at him and then I looked back at the car and then I opened my door. And then, next thing I know, I saw him running towards my mom,” Journee said Sunday on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend.’

Police say while Journee’s mother was loading groceries into her car, the suspect ‘rushed up on her’ and began to violently pull at her purse before knocking her down. The suspect reportedly told the mother to let go of the purse or “you’re going to make me pop you” while reaching for his waistband.

Journee ran towards the encounter, punched the suspect on his head and then chased him four houses down. The suspect initially got away, but was later identified as Demetrius Jackson and arrested two days later, police said.
