A Cobb Police SWAT team traffic stop in Powder Springs on Tuesday netted the arrest of a man for the murder of an East Cobb resident last fall.

Brookins is being held without bond at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center, Pierce said.
Brookins was charged for the Oct. 13 murder of Adrian Thomas Coleman, 25, who was found shot to death in his home at the Lantern Ridge Apartments on Roswell road, near the South Marietta Parkway.
No motive has been disclosed for the shooting.
