A former pro football player is facing charges after allegedly staging a burglary and vandalizing his business, according to Gwinnett County Police.
Edawn Coughman, 31, was arrested September 12, 2019, and has been charged with filing a false police report and insurance fraud.
The caller said that someone was inside the restaurant damaging the business and the suspect's black Chevrolet Silverado with no license plate was parked outside.
As police arrived on scene, the Silverado was leaving the shopping center. Police caught up to the driver, who was found to be Coughman. Police say that the truck did not belong to Coughman and could have belonged to an acquaintance.
Other officers were checking the business and found the back door had yellow pry marks. Inside, the walls were spray-painted with racial slurs, swastikas and "MAGA." The spray paint was still wet.
Booths had been sliced open, mirrors were broken, wires were cut, and the surveillance system has been damaged.
