Today’s Good News
Thanks
to the speedy and coordinated response from Third Precinct officers earlier this month, a man who robbed a trio
of young teens in the Fan was quickly found and arrested. Focus Mission Team Officer Henry Johnson spoke with the victim and
broadcast a detailed suspect description and the last known direction of
travel. Detective Bill Cutshall
updated the possible location after one of the victims used “Find My iPhone” to
locate his stolen phone. That’s when Officer
Jacob DeBoard spotted the suspect
walking with a group of people on Idlewood Avenue.
The coordinated response by patrol and Focus Mission Team officers
resulted in the detention of several individuals, including the primary
suspect, who was stopped by Officer Johnson. A victim later identified the
primary suspect as the man who robbed him, pointing to his stolen belt around
the suspect’s waist. Further investigation by Detective Cutshall resulted in
the man’s arrest for robbery as well as trying to bribe the detective to make
the crime go away. Good teamwork officers!
