A Chattooga County teenager is now behind bars in connection with the attempted hold up of the Taco Bell restaurant in Summerville during the early morning hours of Tuesday.

According to police reports at around 1:00 that morning a man wearing a ski mask entered the restaurant and demanded money while concealing an unknown object; witnesses told investigators that the suspect was unable to get any money from the manager on duty, and then left.

The search conducted by Summerville Police Officers and Chattooga County Sheriff’s Office Deputies failed to locate the subject – however information gathered at the scene led to the issuance of a warrant for 19 year old Justin Lee Reynolds of Summerville. Reynolds turned himself in at the Sheriff’s Office around 2:00 that afternoon, and was subsequently charged with three counts of Armed Robbery and three counts of Armed Robbery by Intimidation.
