Cartersville Teen Convicted of Aggravated Assault, Kidnapping Charges

A Bartow County jury has convicted a Cartersville teenager on aggravated assault and kidnapping charges.

The jury on Wednesday convicted Sherron Tyree Burrell on one count each of kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and battery.

Burrell was found not guilty of an additional aggravated assault charge. Sentencing will take place at 9 a.m. Dec. 9 before Bartow Superior Court Judge Carey Nelson III.

He was also arrested and charged as an adult with rape, aggravated sodomy, aggravated assault and burglary charges in connection with a July 12, 2013, incident involving a 19-year-old victim.
