COWETA COUNTY, Ga. — An armed robbery at a Coweta County gas station may have been an inside job.
Deputies with the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office arrested Andrew Chitwood last month after he reportedly went into the Shell gas station along McCollum Station around 3 a.m. armed with a handgun and held up the store, stealing cash before running away.
After looking at surveillance video from the incident, deputies determined that the worker who was held up that night, Sunil Kumar, was “significantly involved in planning the incident.”

He, too, remains in jail, with a $3,700 bond.
