A reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of a man who assaulted an Athens-Clarke police officer following a robbery Thursday at an eastside convenience store.
Rickie Korey “Woo” Powell, 23, is wanted on charges of aggravated assault, aggravated assault on a police officer, robbery, and felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer, police said.
The officer was not hurt while trying to arrest Powell, but his actions placed Athens-Clarke police Sgt. Mark Pulliam at risk of being seriously injured, police said.
