A Columbus man was arrested last week for attacking and robbing an individual at a county apartment complex.
Mandell Glover, 18, of 133 Harris Dr., was charged with one count of armed robbery. He was arrested Friday shortly after he allegedly stole more than $800 from a man walking near an apartment complex on Yorkville Road in the New Hope area.
The victim told deputies with Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office that he and another individual had been walking along the road when Glover hit him in the face with a pistol, according to LCSO reports. Deputies at the scene reported the victim had a bloody nose and was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle to see if it had been broken.
Deputies then arrested Glover at his home. Glover is currently in custody at Lowndes County Adult Detention Center and his bond has not been set.
