Police said the incident occurred on May 10 when a taxi driver picked up Rodas Hercules and drove him to the 1500 block of Shenta Oak Drive in Norcross. Investigators say he paid only part of the fare and told the driver he was going inside to get the remaining money.
When the man did not return, the driver went to the residence to inquire about the unpaid fare. Police say Rodas Hercules then came outside holding a pole in one hand and a knife in the other, threatening the driver before the victim left the scene and called police.
The arrest follows a public appeal for information issued by detectives earlier this week. The investigation is ongoing.
