Two are charged with armed robbery following an incident in Mountain City on Saturday.

According to Rabun County Sheriff’s Office Chief Investigator Gerald Johnson, Mountain City resident Claire Wilmont informed a Mountain City Police Officer that she had been robbed in her home.

“She’d been robbed by a male and a female at gunpoint after the suspects had used some type of eye irritant, spraying the victim in the face and eyes.”

The Sheriff’s Office was called in to investigate, and they were able to identify the suspects as Maryann Kinsey and Wesley Roberts.

Both Kinsey and Roberts were stopped by a Clayton Police Officer and subsequently taken into custody,” said Johnson. “The suspects took an undetermined amount of cash from Wilmont.”

They are both charged with aggravated assault and armed robbery.

The case is still under investigation.
