Authorities arrested on Thursday an Athens teen on armed robbery and aggravated assault charges, two months after he was released from prison for previous robbery and assault convictions.
Athens-Clarke County police said 19-year-old Devonte Montez Rains on Sunday night robbed another teen at knifepoint and beat him severely enough that the victim had to be taken to the hospital.
The alleged attack occurred as the victim was walking to his home on Gaines School Road from Athens Gardens along a path behind the Willowood shopping center, according to police.
