Two fugitives from South Carolina who are wanted for attempted murder and armed robbery have been arrested and are being held in the Whitfield County Jail.

Four suspects allegedly robbed a 7-eleven store in Anderson County, South Carolina in February and shot the store clerk with a shotgun.

On March 15, a Whitfield County Deputy received word that an inmate in the Whitfield County jail who had been arrested a few days prior for misdemeanor possession of marijuana, Donkevius Martin, 19, was one of the wanted suspects.

Investigators also found another one of the suspects, a 17-year-old female, who had traveled to Dalton, Ga., with Martin and was staying with relatives there.

On Wednesday, authorities went to the home on Goodwill Drive and arrested Harrison without incident.

Both defendants are awaiting extradition back to South Carolina.
