Vehicle crashes into Truist Bank and Emory Healthcare, driver arrested 

WARNER ROBINS — A man is in custody after ramming his car into two buildings on Watson Boulevard.

On Monday, Aug. 25, officers of the Warner Robins Police Department arrived at Truist Bank after a vehicle crashed into the front door. 

According to the city, a witness video showed a lightly colored Jeep Wrangler crashing into the entrance, then leaving the scene. 

Warner Robins City Clerk Mandy Stella said a Truist Bank keyholder notified officers that no entry had been made into the building. But the bank wasn’t the only building struck by the Jeep.

“Shortly afterwards, officers were notified of similar damage to the North Tower entry doors at Emory [Healthcare Warner Robins],” Stella said. 

Law enforcement began reviewing FLOCK camera systems and quickly identified the vehicle, assisted by the Houston County Sheriff’s Office. The Jeep was found at a gas station in Perry, where the driver, Eric Andrew Young, 40, was taken into custody. 

“FLOCK cameras played a key role in locating the vehicle and the offender,” Stella said. 

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Young was charged with two counts of second-degree criminal damage to property.
