Today’s Good News
Second Precinct Officer Larry Boxley was recently checking in at a business on Hull Street as part of his regular patrol when his police instincts started to tingle. As he looked around, he noticed several individuals looking upset and repeatedly looking at a vehicle in the parking lot. Even though he had not received any calls for police service, he went to investigate and discovered a man assaulting his pregnant girlfriend inside the car. Officer Boxley pulled the man off of the female, but the man refused to be handcuffed and tried to reach for the officer’s gun. With the assistance of Officers Kurtis Jinks and Timothy Wade, the man was safely taken into custody and charged with several felonies. Good work officers and good observation Officer Boxley!
