College Park resident, Jerrick Dominic Gilmore, 22, has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, weapon possession during the commission of a crime, terroristic threats, and criminal damage in the first degree, according to Clayton County Sheriff's Office public information officer, Deputy Alicia Parkes.

"The fugitive unit received a tip ... and did a perimeter search of the area," said Parkes. She said Gilmore refused to open the door of the residence, located at 1604 Dayna Drive, in College Park. "They [fugitive unit] were able to get into the home through an open window," Parkes said.
