Cobb County detectives work to link a suspect in custody to the murder outside Pappadeaux Restaurant earlier this month.

The Marietta Daily Journal reports police wounded 22-year-old Dylan Ledbetter of Pompano Beach, Florida after he allegedly drove a Ford Focus at officers at a gas station on Windy Hill Road.  Both Ledbetter and his passenger, Demarious Greene of Fort Lauderdale, are in custody.

Woodstock police charge both men and a third person, Bianca Williams, in an armed robbery near the Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta on Ridgewalk Parkway October 11.  The victim's necklace was stolen.

Investigators believe the Focus may tie at least one suspect to the October 8 murder of Anthony Welch in the Pappadeaux parking lot.  Welch's wife was wounded by the suspect who stole a cheap necklace and fled.

Sandy Springs police suspect a connection with an armed robbery of a woman and child outside the Highland Circle apartments October 10.  Her necklace was also stolen.

Ledbetter is wanted in Broward County, Florida on attempted murder charges.
