Boast is also the suspect Cobb County police believe is behind a couple of bank robberies in their jurisdiction.
One robbery occurred around 3:30 p.m. July 28 at Fifth Third Bank, located at 4209 Roswell Road in Marietta.
The suspect walked into the bank, and also presented to the teller a note demanding money, Cobb police said in a press release. Witnesses described the suspect as a white who is about 5’9’’ tall, around 170 pounds and has red hair, scruffy beard, fair skin and freckles.
