DECATUR COUNTY, Ga. (WTXL) - A man wanted in multiple Georgia counties for burglary has turned himself in to Decatur County deputies.

The Georgia State Patrol reported that the fugitive Ronnie Arron Parrish turned himself in to local authorities on Thursday. 

On March 1, Decatur County reached out to Georgia State Patrol for help in arresting Parrish. By March 8, authorities were confident that Parrish was staying at a home outside of Decatur County.

Troopers said that they surrounded the area, mobilizing troopers on the ground as well as the aviation unit in the air. 

A person they saw driving Parrish near the area was arrested for driving on a suspended license and was found to have a warrant for his arrest. They believed that another accomplice drove to the area and helped Parrish escape.

They say that Parrish soon decided that that his best course of action was to surrender.

Parrish was wanted in connection with burglary, entering auto, and theft by receiving charges in Decatur County.
