Hayward v. State

Eldridge, Judge.

A Thomas County jury found Timothy Noel Hayward guilty of armed robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, aggravated assault, and, in a bifurcated proceeding, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, which charges arose from acts Hayward committed at the Quick Pack convenience store on Highway 84 in Boston, Georgia.
