Four Peachtree City teens were found delinquent in juvenile proceedings last week stemming from the planned armed robbery of another child on the golf cart path near Blue Smoke park Dec. 22, officials said.

Juvenile Court Judge Tarey Schell said that one of the four got a harsher disposition than the others, but he declined to state what that disposition was, nor the charges they were found delinquent of. Schell also refused to release the names of the teens involved.

All involved were 15 years old and each of the teens lived in Peachtree City, Schell confirmed.

Under Georgia law, a juvenile can be ruled delinquent for committing a crime, for disobeying a court order or for failing to appear in court as required by a citation. An adjudication of delinquency is not similar to a finding of guilty in adult court, Schell said.

District Attorney Scott Ballard said one reason he decided to pursue the charges in juvenile court was because the gun used in the incident hadn’t been recovered. Ballard could have tried the teens as adults under Georgia law because of the seriousness of the charges.

Because they were tried as juveniles, the identities of all suspects are being protected by court officials.

It is possible that the juveniles were found delinquent of reduced charges, but Schell declined to say which charges were adjudicated for the four suspects in last week’s trial.

Police said Monday they have made a fifth arrest in the case, of another 15-year-old who was present during the robbery and the planning of the robbery.

According to police, the male gunman wore a bandanna, took a cell phone from the victim and took items from two other juveniles who were in the victim’s golf cart at the time; the latter two also participated in the planning of the robbery, police said.

The gunman rode away on the back of a golf cart driven by a female juvenile, police said. Before the gunman got away, he punched the victim in the face, police said. The gunman was originally charged with armed robbery, battery and possession of marijuana (less than one ounce). The other three suspects were originally charged with being party to the crime of armed robbery.
