A Marietta man is in jail in Fulton County after police in two jurisdictions say he committed several bank robberies in the past two weeks.

Quinton Boast, 24, was arrested on Wednesday by Sandy Springs police for the July 24 robbery of a Wells Fargo Bank in their jurisdiction, Cobb County police said.

According to Sandy Springs police, Boast allegedly went to the bank, located at 5555 New Northside Drive, around 3:30 p.m. and passed to the teller a note demanding money. The suspect left the institution with an undisclosed amount of money.

The July 24 robbery was the second of three bank robberies allegedly committed by Boast since July 17, Cobb police said; on July 17, Boast allegedly walked into the SunTrust Bank inside the Publix on Johnson Ferry Road at approximately 11 a.m. and handed a teller a note demanding money. Once he got the money, he fled the area with an undisclosed amount of cash, police said.

On July 28, a man walked into the Fifth Third Bank on Roswell Road at approximately 3:30 p.m. and gave a demand note to the teller on duty, Cobb police said. After receiving an undisclosed amount of money, the suspect fled the scene.

The suspect was described as a white male who stood 5’9” tall and weighed approximately 170 pounds. He was described as being in his mid 20’s. He had red hair and a scruffy beard. He also had “fair skin” and freckles. Cobb police now believe Boast was responsible for the robbery.

Cobb police have charged Boast with two counts of robbery by intimidation. Fulton County jail records show Sandy Springs police have also charged him with robbery.
