In addition, Harris is accused of entering a vehicle in the Athens Street/West Ridge Road area and stealing a .32 caliber revolver from inside the vehicle. Harris was found in possession of the stolen gun when he was arrested in Habersham County.
Harris posted a bond of $11,700 on the Hall County charges and was released from custody (today)…”
