Carmichael thought Beavers stole his stash of drugs while he played video lottery games in a South Fulton convenience store. But prosecutors say neither Beavers nor anyone else stole anything from Carmichael.
“The defendant was wrong. No one took his drugs. The victim didn’t take them. No one that was in that store that day took his drugs. He was just wrong,” Fulton County Chief Senior Assistant District Attorney Kassie Hall said.
