Aug. 28—A Georgia man was taken into custody in North Augusta on Aug. 26 for possession of a stolen vehicle, according to a North Augusta Department of Public Safety report. The suspect, Jeremiah J. Shearouse, 43, of Pooler, Georgia, drew an officer's attention on Georgia Avenue due to a description of a person of interest in connection with two separate armed robberies that did not occur within North Augusta's city limits, the report noted. The vehicle in question, a Ford Bronco, had been stolen in Aiken County and used in an armed robbery in Dorchester County and another in Georgia, in the Pooler area, and the vehicle was reportedly abandoned at Georgia and Buena Vista avenues.
