Today’s Good News

First Precinct Officer Shavonte Cotman-Russell recently spotted two men who appeared to be about ready to steal a moped in the city’s East End. As they stood next to the moped, Officer Cotman-Russell approached the pair and noticed how nervous they looked as he spoke with them. However, since he hadn’t witnessed any crime and there was no victim, he took their information and let them leave.

But he didn’t stop there. A short time later, he and Officer Kenise Ford found the moped’s owner, discovered part of the moped’s chain had been cut and located bolt cutters nearby. After further investigation, they took out warrants for tampering with a vehicle, possession of burglary tools and attempted theft. Since they already knew who the suspects were, they had no trouble finding and serving those warrants. Good work officers!
