On Tuesday, October 30, 2018 around 8:45 a.m., Cobb County Police Department uniform officers responded to 2353 Arkose Drive after they were alerted by 38-year-old Jenna Born and 23-year-old James Gniewkowski that a male suspect had held them at gunpoint since the previous night. Born and Gniewkowski stated that they were able to escape but that a third victim, 27-year-old Sydney Cahall, was still at the residence with the male suspect, 43-year-old Frank Malone.
