While patrolling the corridor in search of a known fugitive, officers spotted a white Chevy Malibu being driven by 26-year-old Sanchez Turner, who was wanted for fleeing and eluding police and theft by receiving. The vehicle was stopped along the 3000 block of MLK Jr. Drive.

Turner and two passengers were ordered out of the vehicle and detained without incident. The passengers were identified as 24-year-old Jaiden Jackson, a convicted felon with 10 prior arrest cycles, and a 15-year-old juvenile with no criminal history.

During a search of the vehicle, officers located two firearms within reach of Jackson.

Both adults were transported to the Fulton County Jail.

The juvenile was released to the custody of his parents.
