By Kristal Dixon

Johns Creek detectives have obtained arrested warrants for an Atlanta man accused of threatening a car wash employee with a handgun after accusing him of taking drugs from his vehicle.

Warrants have been taken out for Mickey Wright on armed robbery and aggravated assault charges, the Johns Creek Police Department said in its press release.

The incident, which occurred Thursday, June 25, involves Wright “allegedly pointing a handgun” at an employee at Club Corners car wash on Medlock Bridge Road, the agency stated.

Wright took his white Jeep Wrangler to the facility and received a car wash from the business. Wright paid his ticket and left the establishment.

However, he returned a short time later and accused an employee of stealing his marijuana, according to an incident report released by the police department.

“Mr. Wright allegedly confronted the employee, produced a pink handgun and pointed it at the employee demanding him to return the stolen drugs,” Johns Creek police Capt. Chris Byers added. “Wright then left the car wash and later returned to have a physical altercation with the same employee.”

During the altercation, Byers said Wright allegedly pointed to his pocket where his handgun was located and “made threatening statements while taking the victim’s cell phone.”

The vehicle, gun and phone were all located by Johns Creek police. Detectives used physical and video surveillance to identify Wright as the perpetrator, Byers stated.

Anyone with information about Wright’s whereabouts is asked to call Detective Brown at 678-474-1593.
