Just because they think hes the suspect doesnt mean they can take the law into their hands and chase someone with guns.

Citizen's arrest is legal in Georgia. There were break-ins, he was caught on surveillance video, according to them. Moments earlier before the shooting, another resident saw him lurking around in a house under construction. Not that these guys were aware of, but the suspect has a criminal record, a shop lifting conviction, violation of probation, and he had also taken a gun to a school basketball game. They'd seen him reaching down into his pants in such a way they were worried he was carrying a gun as well.

On the day of the shooting, supposedly moments before the chase, a resident of Satilla Shores dialed 911, telling the dispatcher that a Black man in a white T-shirt was inside a house that was under construction and only partially closed in. And hes running right now, the guy told the dispatcher. There he goes right now!

The former prosecutor, Barnhill, also brought up Arberys past record to the cops. Court documents show that he was convicted of shoplifting and of violating probation in 2018. Five years earlier, Arbery was also indicted on accusations that he took a handgun to a high school basketball game, according to The Brunswick News.
