ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Alpharetta police arrested a 24-year-old Roswell woman Feb. 23 who allegedly tried to sell a stolen guitar at Guitar Center on North Point Drive.

Officers reported speaking with the woman, who said she received the guitar in her late father’s property in Ohio.
When questioned why she was trying to sell the instrument in Alpharetta and not in Ohio, she reportedly said she was visiting family in Decatur and knew Alpharetta was a wealthier city.

The woman’s address reportedly matched the suspect’s address in the original theft, and the woman allegedly admitted the suspect was her ex-boyfriend.
