For Immediate Release:

 Gwinnett Sheriff’s deputies arrested a man wanted for armed robbery following a brief foot chase at a Buford apartment complex Wednesday.

 Jeremy Oakley Biddle of Suwanee was wanted for an armed robbery that occurred on July 16 on Sugarloaf Parkway where he robbed a man of more than $500 at gunpoint. He is also charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

 Sheriff’s deputies with the Fugitive Unit received a tip that Mr. Biddle was staying with friends at the Preston Hills at Mill Creek Apartments in Buford. Deputies watching the apartment observed Mr. Biddle get out of a car and enter the apartment door.
