Today’s Good News

Thanks to the keen eyes of VCU Police and good detective work by Third Precinct investigators, a man who robbed another man in the Fan was arrested in less than 30 minutes on Friday night! Officer Marley Williams was the first officer on scene and after interviewing the victim, she quickly broadcast the suspect’s description and last known direction of travel.

Approximately 24 minutes later, VCU Police Officer Chelsey Cocke spotted a man matching that description. With the assistance of VCU Police Officer Matthew McCarty, Sgt. Kyle Frail and Cpl. Mark Bailey, they safely took him into custody, finding both a firearm and the stolen property. After further investigation by Detective Charles Kane, the man confessed to the robbery and was charged accordingly. Great teamwork VCUPD and RPD!
