Shooting suspect extradited
FORT PAYNE, Ala. – A Fort Payne man accused of leaving one man paralyzed and another dependent on a cane after trying to rob a Rainsville store on Aug. 24 is being brought back to Alabama.
DeKalb County Sheriff Jimmy Harris said in a news release that Kelly Jack Mayo, 45, was on the way from Polk County, Ga., where he was arrested in October, charged in a second attempted armed robbery.
In DeKalb, Mayo has been charged with two counts of attempted murder, two counts of discharging a gun and first-degree robbery, Harris said.
Police said Mayo, who was fired from a Fred’s store in Rome, Ga., may have been trying to get back at the company, and he also was in financial trouble.
Mayo was arrested after a man tried to rob a Cedartown Fred’s store, kidnapping an employee. He was arrested when a police car rammed his car.
