Quick-Thinking Bystander Stops 2 Attempted Carjackings in Marietta

  • On June 2, 66-year-old Gary Edwards prevented two attempted carjackings near Delk Road and Franklin Gateway in Marietta by intervening directly.
  • The incidents began when 32-year-old Rico Riley allegedly attacked a woman at a gas station, struggling with her for her Chevrolet Aveo’s keys before fleeing.
  • Riley then attempted to forcibly take over a Toyota RAV4 stopped at a red light, which was carrying two grown passengers along with a toddler, leading Edwards to intervene once more.
  • Edwards held Riley at gunpoint until police arrived, leading to Riley’s arrest and booking on charges including attempted armed robbery, child cruelty, and cocaine possession.
  • Marietta police praised Edwards for his prompt response that helped safeguard several community members, while advising witnesses to prioritize their safety and contact 911 when encountering similar situations.
