According to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, investigators have charged Micheal Clinton Chambers, 26, of Carrollton, in connection with the case.
Deputies say the investigation began earlier this month with the arrest of another suspect. As the case developed, authorities identified Chambers and obtained multiple warrants for his arrest.
Investigators tracked Chambers across state lines, working with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office in Alabama before determining he had returned to Carrollton.
With assistance from Carrollton police, officers located and detained Chambers using a description of the vehicle he was believed to be driving.
