Today’s Good News
Fourth Precinct Officers Austin Darnell, Benjamin Neifeld and Justin Hall were on patrol in the Scott’s Addition neighborhood recently when they noticed a man acting suspiciously and carrying several duffel bags. They stopped to talk with him, but became even more suspicious when his answers didn’t make sense. A search of his bags revealed burglary tools and several stolen items, including electronics and a firearm. They arrested the man, charged him with numerous crimes and were able to return some of the stolen items to their rightful owners. Good job!
