According to Ellijay Police, on January 9, 2023, at about 6:30 p.m., Shawn Sutton, 39 years old and a convicted felon, posed as a customer ready to purchase an energy drink at the Ideal Mart on at 31 Old Northcutt Road in Ellijay Georgia.
Ellijay is the county seat of Gilmer County, Georgia, about 60 miles north of Atlanta. Gilmer County was founded in 1832 on the junction of the Coosawattee River and the Etowah River. It is a thriving rural county with 31,000 residents.
There were two real customers and a store clerk inside the Ideal Mart with Sutton. Outside, there was one customer at the gas pump. Melody Sutton, Shawn’s wife, was in a parked car outside the store.
One of the customers produced his concealed firearm and intervened. The other customer went outside to retrieve his pistol from his vehicle and returned to help subdue Sutton. The third armed customer at the gas pumps came inside to assist as Sutton was attempting to leave. The first armed customer told the other two armed customers not to shoot Sutton, as Sutton had been disarmed.
At this point in time, law enforcement officers arrived at the scene. It was 6:36 p.m. Sutton was still attempting to leave. One officer ordered the suspect to get down. Sutton did not comply. The officer used a Taser to engage the suspect, who was then taken into custody. As other officers arrived on the scene, one of them discovered Melody Sutton in the parked car. She was taken

The way America needs to work!
“...then pulled a pair of women’s panties from around his neck to cover his face.”
In a Blue State, he would have a strong case to be housed in a Women’s Prison.

As soon as I read “Ellijay”, I started laughing. This is North Georgia, not too far from me. This is not far from McCayesville Drug & Gun (”Pistols or Prozac - Dispensing Happiness”). EVERYONE in North Georgia is well armed! There aren’t many places I would consider more so. It’s a really stupid place to be pulling a gun on people in commission of a crime.
Oops - that didn’t go so well.....heh
Shawn looks like he’s got the IQ of a Democrat
What’s his addiction. Thank Biden and the Democrats for providing the drugs that hooked him
I’m reminded of the robbery scene in “Code of Silence” - I’d post the clip but there’s too much foul language for a family-friendly site (per JimRob’s appropriate rules - I had just looked at it - it makes me laugh though
Thank you. I was hoping for a mug shot. I was expecting “stupid looking” and you confirmed I was right. Only an idiot pulls a gun on a store full of folks in North Georgia.
i doubt that the police have any evidence to charge the woman with anything (unless she voluntarily confessed)
Three armed customers. One armed suspect. No shots, suspect disarmed, then taken into custody by police.............and released a short time later to do it again
Cue scene in Maverick movie where James Colburn says “everybody’s got a gun”

Not far from us either. GOD’S COUNTRY a la Blake Shelton.
It’s more than 60 miles north of Atlanta, it’s an entire culture’s distance north of Atlanta.
Looks like a couple tweakers were taken down.
“Of course he had a gun. This is Texas! Everybody has a gun. My florist has a gun!”
In Fannin County? As a convicted felon?
I strongly doubt he was quickly released. Got any proof of that?
Sorry, Gilmer County. Same thing.
And I am correct. Stick Shawn Sutton’s name in here:

As of right now, his status at the Gilmer County Adult Detention Center is “Currently booked.”
I expect it will remain so for a good while. I don’t see this guy raising bail.
