MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Tennessee man accused of assaulting package store employees with chemical spray in two July 29 holdups is being sought by Moultrie police.

At about 10 a.m., a man dressed in a dark-colored T-shirt, dark pants and shoes and a ball camp entered Somesh Package, located at 205 Fifth St. S.E. The man made a small purchase and then turned pepper spray on 56-year-old Mike Patel.

At about noon, the same scenario played out at the second store at 23 Lower Meigs Road.
