COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Marietta police released new photos of one of two teens accused of running over a sheriff's deputy while trying to get away after breaking into cars.
The incident happened Monday morning at the Cobb County courthouse.
The deputy is recovering, but authorities want the teen caught.
"Anyone who would be brave enough to assault a law enforcement officer during the performance of their duties, there's no telling what they'll be able to do to the general public. So naturally, we want to make sure we get these folks off the streets as quickly as possible," a spokesperson with the Marietta Police Department said.
Police say he didn't act alone. Channel 2's Matt Johnson learned police arrested Equwan Marshall, 16, after they said he walked into an Atlanta hospital with a gunshot wound.
They said they also found the car he was in on I-75 with a bullet hole in the windshield.
