Today’s Good News
Major Crimes detectives recently wrote to commend several Second Precinct officers who
helped them quickly find a man wanted in connection to an abduction and
extortion investigation. Within hours of detectives identifying the suspect and
broadcasting his description, Second Precinct Sergeant Frank Scarpa
received information from a source concerning the man’s whereabouts.
He then coordinated
with K-9 Officer Fred Bates, Second Precinct Sergeant Scott Leonard and
Officers Kent Smith, Jason Pritchett, Joe Dillon, Justin Sumpter and Brian
Rogers to safely take the man into custody at a hotel on Midlothian
Turnpike. Good work officers!
