A Duluth man has been arrested and charged in connection with a May 13 home invasion that involved a 12-year-old victim.

Duluth Police charged Joshua Parrish, 19, with two felonies: false imprisonment and robbery. Jail records indicate that he lives in Duluth, and that he is being held at the Gwinnett County Detention Center without bond.

Parrish apparently turned himself into police late Thursday night (May 23), according to WSB-TV.
