Sheriff Victor Hill’s “Catch a Robber for Christmas” program was design to spread holiday cheer among robbers giving them free accommodation’s at the “Hill ton” Hotel before Christmas Day.  The program gives them rest from their labors for 10 to 20 years so they won’t have to work so hard robbing innocent citizens of their hard earned possessions.

Morrow City Police Investigators thought Joey Terrell Council would make an excellent canidate for free accommodations at the “Hill ton” when they identified him as the man who robbed the I-Hop in Morrow on November 11, 2017.   At that robbery, Council pointed a black semi automatic handgun at the cashier forcing her to empty the cash drawer.  Council was also hard at work committing similar robberies in the cities of Riverdale and Forest Park.

Morrow City Police Investigators qualified Council for the Sheriff’s “Catch a Robber for Christmas” program when they took warrants out for him on the charges of Armed Robbery and Aggravated Assault.

Yesterday,  Council found out he won his free accommodations when Sheriff Victor Hill’s elite Fugitive Squad surprised him with the news giving him a free “limo-ride” to the “Hill ton”.   After posing for the attached photos, Council is now the premiere poster child for the “Catch a Robber for Christmas” program while he faces the wall at Georgia’s toughest para-military jail.
