Today’s Good News
It’s called a dumb criminal story for a reason, but we’re just glad our officers were able to make a quick arrest. A teenager recently reported to police that two men had just robbed him of money and his cell phone at gunpoint on West Baker Street. Fourth Precinct Officers Jacob Brackett and Kenneth Coleman spoke with the victim and requested a detective respond to the scene for further investigation. As Detective Mark Godwin interviewed the victim for more information, the victim suddenly spotted one of the robbers down the street. The officers quickly took him into custody. Detective Godwin then called the victim’s stolen cell phone, which rang while in the offender’s pocket. “Can you hear me now?” Good work officers!
