He was arrested Friday and booked into the Fulton County Jail. His bond has not been set.

Thomas’ roommate found her in the bathroom of their unit at the Atlanta Newtown Apartments on June 8, AJC.com previously reported.

“The male caller was frantic and hysterical,” Roswell police said.

“He advised that his roommate was in his bathtub and that something bad had happened to her.”

Thomas was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

“As far as we know, they met a couple of times and were dating off and on,” Channel 2 quoted Thompson as saying.

A warrant said Wilson planned to give Thomas an engagement ring, but Thomas said she didn’t want him coming to her home.

Police previously said Thomas was seen walking around her vehicle in the parking lot of the apartment complex about a half-hour before she was discovered dead.
