He went to the door and locked it,” he said.There happened to be two police officers in the store, and they arrested Harrison, who told Bojorquez he is not the man in the videotape.Detectives are interviewing him at police headquarters.”Anytime you got firearms in criminals’ hands, which obviously they are now, there’s a real concern that more crime’s gonna happen,” said Lawrenceville Police Detective Cornelius Zellous.
