Sept. 19 – Sept. 20, 2013

Today’s Good News
First Precinct Officer Kenise Ford was in the parking lot of the precinct recently when she heard random gunfire approximately one block away and immediately ran to the area. A witness flagged her down and alerted her to a man who had been shot. Officer Ford quickly gathered and broadcast the descriptions of three suspects and minutes later Officers Kevin Hyde, David Woods and Brent Howlett spotted two of the suspects in an alley a few streets away and arrested them without incident. They also located a loaded firearm nearby.

Witnesses reported the third suspect was still in the area and after Officer Deane Waite circled the neighborhood several times, he located and safely arrested the third suspect. After further investigation, two of the suspects were charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Officer Ford displayed quick, intelligent police actions when both responding to the call and when relaying the information over the radio while Officers Hyde, Howlett, Woods and Waite displayed bravery, and intelligent police actions when taking the possibly armed shooting suspects into custody.  Because of the teamwork of these five officers, two dangerous felons and a firearm were taken off of the street. Good work!
