Two Georgia men are now being charged following a recent standoff with 2 Cobb County Deputies.
Last Thursday (Sept. 8), Deputies Marshall Ervin Jr. and Jonathan Koleski were attempting to serve an arrest warrant in Marietta for a man named Christopher Cook.
The paperwork listed charges of theft by deception. As the two deputies attempted to take Cook into custody in a driveway, a second man named Christopher Golden emerged from the home with a weapon. Cobb County Police Department Chief Stuart VanHoozer said both deputies gave “clear verbal commands,” telling Golden to drop his weapon, but to no avail.
VanHoozer said, “At that point, there was an exchange of gunfire between the subject and the deputies. Both deputies were struck by gunfire, and both deputies succumbed to their wounds.” After a “brief standoff” inside the home, both Golden, the shooter, and Cook, the original wanted suspect, had surrendered. While Cook will not be charged in the shooting, Golden now faces two counts of aggravated assault on a police officer and two counts of murder.
