June 25– June 26, 2014

Today’s Good News
Ever wonder why officers are so insistent about people showing them their hands during an encounter? Here’s why: Fourth Precinct Officers John Story and Justin Miller recently stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation, but the driver and passenger jumped out of the car and ran away. Officers gave chase and caught up to the driver a few blocks away. But the man, who officers noticed kept one hand at his waistband even while he ran, refused to remove his hands from under his body even as officers tried to safety take him into custody.

Once he was in handcuffs, officers discovered a firearm on his person and seized it. After further investigation with the assistance of Officer Gene Carter and after noticing his body movements during their interviews, they discovered drugs hidden on him as well. He was arrested and charged accordingly. Good work officers!
