According to Marietta police, just before midnight, Jevelious Bryant, 40, got a taxi ride from South Marietta Parkway. When they arrived at the house, Bryant threw a handful of coins at the driver, exited the cab, and refused to pay for the ride.

A Channel 2 Action News photographer captured the moment officers showed up at the house, but Bryant would not come out.
“Our officers responded ... arrested without incident,” MPD public information officer Chuck McPhilamy told Channel 2’s Bryan Mims.
Other people living in the house were questioned, but were cleared and not facing any charges. Police said the house appeared to be a single-family home, but had multiple individual apartments constructed inside, each with its own entrance.
Bryant is facing the following charges: felon in possession of a firearm (a felony), simple battery, theft of services, possession of less than one ounce of marijuana, and aggravated assault with a weapon (a felony).
