Dunkin Donuts Carjacking Suspect Turns Himself In To Police

CUMMING, GA — An Atlanta man wanted in connection with a carjacking at a Forsyth County Dunkin Donuts earlier this month has turned himself in to police.

Authorities had named Wayne Christopher Alford, 19, as a suspect in the case, which happened July 8 as a woman was waiting in line at the drive-through of the restaurant, at 7810 McGinnis Ferry Rd., near the Forsyth-Fulton county line.

Alford turned himself in to Forsyth County authorities Wednesday night, said Forsyth County Sheriff's Office spokesman Epifanio Rodriguez.

As the woman was waiting at the drive-through, a man walked up to the driver's side door of her Toyota RAV4 and "forced her out of the vehicle by her hair," according to Rodriguez.

No weapon is believed to have been involved.

The Toyota was later found at the Riverwalk subdivision in Johns Creek.

Investigators have said fingerprint evidence linked Alford to the incident. He is charged with robbery-carjacking and robbery-forcible snatching, Rodriguez said.
