He was one of two suspects arrested for the March 30 and 31, 2014 robberies of Waffle Houses in the Norcross and Duluth areas.

“Multiple victims were present during each robbery but thankfully, none were physically injured,” the D.A.’s Office said in a press release. “The defendants were apprehended a few days after the robberies during a routine traffic stop.”

Following the verdict, Judge Karen E. Beyers sentenced Haynes to life in prison.
