Sept. 12 – Sept. 13, 2012

Today’s Good News
Kudos to Officer Bridgitte Withers-Dyke who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for August! Officer Withers-Dyke had a significant arrest last month that resulted in the seizure of 22 grams of crack cocaine, marijuana and $800 in cash. All of this from a traffic stop for a defective taillight on Missouri Avenue. When Officer Withers-Dyke approached the driver, he became very nervous, leading her to request to search the vehicle. Her hunch paid off. She found the contraband inside the driver’s side door panels, and charged the driver with possession of marijuana and possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Good work Officer Withers-Dyke!
