April 10 – April 11, 2014

Today’s Good News
Sometimes being known on the street isn’t such a good thing, especially if you’re committing crimes. On the other hand, it’s quite helpful for police officers. Case in point: Second Precinct Officers Cynthia Marlowe and Christina Partin recently assisted detectives after a convenience store was robbed at gunpoint. After seeing a surveillance photo of a possible suspect, they immediately recognized the person and went to speak with him. Further investigation revealed that the man was not the robber, but he was able to give them enough information to help them identify the correct suspect.

Once identified, Third Precinct Detective Bill Cutshall created a photo line up from which the victim identified the man who robbed the store. Warrants were obtained and the man was arrested. Good work officers and detectives!
