The owner cooperated and was ordered back into a storage room. Cope blocked the doorway and told the victim to stay inside while he left the business.
Police say Cope did not act alone as two accomplishes remained outside of the business; they have been identified as 43-year-old Detrick Johnson of Ellenwood and 33-year-old Jasmine Latta of Fairburn.
