Today’s Good News
Just before midnight recently Fourth Precinct Officer David Marakovitz responded to West Marshall Street to investigate the robbery of two men. His good information gathering and broadcast of the suspects’ descriptions helped Officers Marc Troy and Isaac Johnson spot one of the men less than an hour later. With the assistance of Detectives Kristie Reed and James Higgins, the man was found with some of the victims’ stolen property and charged accordingly. The second robber was also identified and arrested. Good work everyone!
