Today’s Good News

Here’s a great example of why we ask our citizens to pay attention and let us know when they see something suspicious. At approximately 10 a.m. one day last week, a citizen called to report a man using bolt cutters to cut a fence and then trying to take an HVAC unit from a residence on Decatur Street. Second Precinct Officer Jean Therency quickly responded to investigate and spotted the suspect who took off running.

As the man ran, he dropped a backpack of items and a variety of tools, including bolt cutters. The man eventually ran into a business and tried to hide in the bathroom, but helpful citizens pointed out his location to Officer Therency, who subsequently arrested him without incident. Further investigation with the assistance of Detective Pedro Riddle revealed the man was already wanted on two outstanding felony warrants. Additional charges are pending. This quick arrest would not have been possible without the help of our great citizens. Thank you, citizens, and good work officers!
