Man arrested in connection to armed robbery, shooting of Acworth liquor store owner

Cobb County police said they have arrested the man wanted for robbing an Acworth liquor store and shooting the store owner earlier this month.

The armed robbery happened at the Bottle Shop at the corner of Hickory Grove and Baker roads just outside Acworth on May 12.

Govani remains in critical condition at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital.

Snipes is being held without bond.
