Man holds woman, child hostage at northeast Atlanta apartment, police say
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – A man was arrested for allegedly holding a woman and his child hostage at a northeast Atlanta apartment Friday night, according to police.
Andre Ross, 34, faces a false imprisonment charge. He also had multiple felony arrest warrants for armed robbery, weapons charges, obstruction and violation of probation, according to police. Records show Ross was booked in Fulton County Jail on Saturday and had charges out of Douglas and DeKalb counties.
On Friday around 10 p.m., officers came to an apartment off Piedmont Avenue after reports of a domestic fight. That’s where they met a woman who appeared to be uncooperative and wouldn’t let officers inside or outside the home, but she mouthed “help me,” police said.
A SWAT team and hostage negotiators were called to the apartment and spoke with Ross, who surrendered. The woman and child are safe, according to police.

Ms. Juicy, real name Shirlene King-Pearson, was arrested in Winder, Ga. And charged with two offenses: allegedly driving with a suspended license and without insurance, according to a report from E! News.
The incident occurred on April 18 around 7 p.m. and she was released close to six hours later by the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office.
The reality star paid two separate bonds via a bondsman, one for $2,214 and another for $1,510, to be released.
Ms. Juicy rose to fame on Lifetime’s “Little Women: Atlanta” in 2016, documenting her life as a four-foot-tall woman.

According to her personal website, in addition to her reality TV and acting work, she has “launched her own successful clothing line which includes her trademark slogans and one-liners, her own bobblehead where you can hear her signature phrases and quick one-liners, as well as her own sunglasses line, Eminence Eyewear by Juicy.”
She apparently faced some health issues in the recent past, posting on Instagram in April 2022 that she had been hospitalized and “stabilized in the ICU,” but did not specify the cause.

A month later, her a statement was posted to her page confirming she was out of the ICU after suffering a stroke.
“Ms Juicy is a very private person and wants everyone to know she is fighting and ready to go home,” the post read. “She wants to thank her fans for showing so much love and keeping her in their prayers.”
