Today’s Good News

An alert citizen recently called police to report three men breaking into a residence on Whitcomb Street, but in less than five minutes, First Precinct officers were on scene and arrested two of them! Officer James Spada was the first officer to arrive and he pursued the suspects on foot after they ran from him. As he followed and arrested one suspect, he continued to give information about the other two and located a handgun the man tried to hide. Officer Jermaine Powell spotted another suspect running and caught him, but he also saw the suspect try to hide another firearm that was later recovered by Officer Matthew Robinson. With the assistance of Officers Michael Ahnstrom and Brian Wilson, further information was gathered and both suspects were charged with armed burglary and additional firearm charges. The investigation remains ongoing. Good work officers!
