Today’s Good News

First Precinct Officers Dan Burgess and Centell McNeil were responding to a call recently, but spotted a man dragging a city trash can down the street at 15^th and Dock streets around midnight and knew something wasn’t right. They turned around stopped the man to investigate further and discovered a large spool of stolen copper wiring. Though the officers couldn’t initially determine from where the copper was stolen, they seized it and charged the man with drunk in public and stealing the super can while the investigation continues. Good work officers!
