DeKalb County records show Rhoden was arrested by the Chamblee Police Department on charges of DUI, providing false identification, and other traffic and vehicle charges hours after Siller’s death. He was booked into jail on the morning of July 4 and was released two days later on bail, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
Little else is known about Rhoden. Records show that he lives in downtown Atlanta, a few miles from where he was arrested in Chamblee. He does not appear to have a presence on social media, and no further details about his criminal record have been released so far.

Killed golf pro-Gene Siller – Suspect Arrested
Bryan Anthony Rhoden of Atlanta was taken into custody in DeKalb County, more than 25 miles from the Pinetree Country Club, where professional golfer Gene Siller, 46, was shot and killed Saturday afternoon, according to Cobb officials. Rhoden is charged with three counts of murder, three counts of aggravated assault and two counts of kidnapping, Cobb Police Chief Tim Cox said during a hastily organized news conference Thursday night.
Few other details about the case were released, but Cox described Rhoden as the “lone shooter.”
Rhoden, a 23-year-old Florida native, was arrested around 5:15 p.m. at Chamblee Police Headquarters, according to Eric Heinze, deputy commander of the US Marshals Service Regional Fugitive Task Force.
The Chamblee Police Department, the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office, and the United States Marshals Service were involved in Rhoden’s capture, authorities said. Rhoden was unarmed and arrested without incident in the course of the investigation, according to the sheriff’s office. He did not surrender.
According to online jail records, Rhoden was arrested by Chamblee police on Saturday, the same day he was charged with driving a white Dodge Ram pickup truck onto the Kennesaw golf course with two bodies in its box. Police believe Siller was not attacked, but he was shot when he went to investigate the truck at the 10th hole Saturday afternoon.
The other two victims were later identified as Henry Valdez, 46, of Anaheim, California, and Paul Pierson, 76, of Topeka, Kansas, who owned the truck, according to Cobb officials. The men seemed to have no connection to the country club.
Public documents reveal that Pierson spent much of his adult life in and around California’s wine country. He is listed as a director, president, treasurer, and secretary of Eco Environmental Remediation Services, Inc., based in Nevada.
Detectives believe the three men died in the same area and in a short time, Cox said. Rhoden was identified as a possible suspect relatively early in the investigation and has ties to the greater Atlanta area, according to Cox. His current address is listed as a high-rise apartment in Midtown Atlanta, Cobb’s jail records show.
Cox acknowledged that Rhoden has been arrested before, but did not provide details about his previous history. The circumstances of his arrest on Saturday have not been made public.
Rhoden was booked into the DeKalb County Jail Sunday morning for misdemeanors of DUI, a headlamp violation, false identification, driving without insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, and wearing a license plate to conceal the identity of a vehicle, online jail records show. He was released on bail Tuesday night, then arrested on the Cobb murder charges two days later.

Rhoden has been arrested before on violent crime charges. As an 18-year-old student at Georgia State University in early 2016, Rhoden and another man were charged in a double shooting that took place during an apparent drug deal, the AJC previously reported.
According to GSU police, Rhoden met two other men in a car outside his residence one night in March. Rhoden was trying to sell marijuana to the men when an argument began that led to a shooting between Rhoden and Shelton Torance Flournoy II, 19, a spokesman for the university’s police department said.
Rhoden was shot in the chest but shot Flournoy three times with a Glock .40 pistol, and both men were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in serious condition, the spokesman said. Each man was subsequently charged with assault, attempted murder, and possession of a firearm on campus. Investigators recovered both weapons and what they described as “a significant amount of marijuana” in Rhoden’s backpack.
Rhoden was booked into the Fulton County Jail but was released three days later on bond. The AJC is working to obtain the rest of the court records related to this case.
Cobb Police declined to answer most media questions due to the open and ongoing nature of the investigation. Cox did not say why Rhoden allegedly drove to the golf course, how or where he may have abducted the two men in the bed of the truck, or what circumstances led to the deadly ruckus.
Siller’s brazen murder on the golf course shocked a Kennesaw community that prides itself on being one of the safest cities in America. Cobb residents were even more nervous as authorities provided few responses or updates on the case in the next five days.
“I realize that some members of the community felt some frustration,” Cox said. “They felt they had limited information and I can respect that feeling.”
He added that “the successful arrest and prosecution” of a suspect was his highest priority. Authorities believe Siller may have “happened to a crime in progress” and was “killed because he witnessed an active crime.”
