Man arrested Wendy's East Cobb knife threat

Cobb Police have arrested a man after he allegedly threatened to kill another man with a knife at an East Cobb Wendy’s restaurant Monday night.

Anthony O’Bryant Brown, 30, whose booking report says he is homeless, has been charged with one felony count of aggravated assault after the incident at the Wendy’s at 2238 Roswell Road, according to his arrest warrant.

The warrant states that Brown and another man were arguing outside the restaurant between 7:35 and 9:10 p.m. Monday. Brown said in the warrant the other man called him a “crack head,” angering him, and Brown then went inside and got a knife from the kitchen.

The warrant said that Brown said he “bucked” at the victim with the knife in his hand. The victim told police that Brown wanted to kill him, and that three Wendy’s employees heard him making that threat, according to the warrant.

Police were called to the scene and Brown was arrested, according to the warrant, which lists his home address as Elizabeth Porter Park in Marietta.

According to jail records, Brown is being held on a $22,000 bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center.

  1. I’ve been out of the loop .
    What am I missing?
    Only one count of felony assault? What about the terroristic threats ? Or the criminal trespass?
    The old guard, Cobb DA would have added a half dozen charges to this event ( including ‘a failure to maintain lane’-rim shot!)
    But seriously, why only one charge ?
    God bless

  2. Huh – fairly certain this is the guy that made my trip to DSW a little uncomfortable a few weeks ago.

    Sad all around- but from my perspective East Cobb needs to reduce loitering and panhandling. It’s not morally superior to support people living on the streets.
