Bodycam: Suspect in unsolved sex crime arrested on MARTA bus

ATLANTA – New body camera video shows the moment Atlanta police captured one of their 10 most wanted fugitives on a MARTA bus.

The arrest took place on Thursday, August 15, on Cascade Road.

Police say they received a tip that Randy Baugh was on the bus.

After stopping the bus, officers quickly found Baugh and handcuffed him.

“Defend me,” the officer can be heard telling Baugh in the video. “I got him.”

In the video, Baugh tells officers his name is “Randy Jackson,” but police say they have already positively identified him through surveillance. He later admitted what his last name was.

Investigators say Baugh was arrested in November 2023 for two unsolved sex crimes committed in 1986 and 1988.

He escaped from custody after being taken to the Grady Detention Center and was previously listed among Atlanta police’s top 10 most wanted people.
