RICHMOND POLICE DEPARTMENT
DAILY CRIME REPORT
Sept. 12 – Sept. 13, 2013
Today’s Good News
Dumb criminal alert! If you’re selling drugs from your car and honking
to alert your customers that you’re outside, you may also want to pay attention
to the police officer sitting next door at a neighborhood meeting. That was the
case recently for First Precinct Lt. Dan
Minton who was attending a community meeting on Williamsburg Road, but went
to speak with the man in the vehicle after his repeated honking interrupted the
meeting.
The driver was looking down—watching a TV show on his in-car TV--and
didn’t even notice Lt. Minton until he was standing next to the car. As the
driver looked up, his eyes got wide and Lt. Minton quickly saw why: there was a
bag of crack cocaine in the man’s lap. A further search revealed thousands of
dollars in cash on the man’s person as well as a scale, a bag of heroin and
firearm. The items were seized and the man was subsequently charged with
multiple felonies. Oh, and if you’re wondering what he was watching on TV, it
was a show about—and we’re not joking--drug dealing.
DISCLAIMER: The following incidents are preliminary in nature and are
