Officers from the DeKalb County Police Department responded to an assault call around 12:20 a.m. Tuesday at a Chevron gas station in the 3300 block of Snapfinger Road. When cops arrived, they found the suspect, later identified as 53-year-old Julian Faulkner, holding a hammer and standing over the victim.
