Today’s Good News
Some criminals just aren’t that smart. Combine that with our good police skills and you get this recent arrest: Fourth Precinct Officer Michael DiSalvo tried to stop a suspicious vehicle for traffic and narcotics violations, but the driver refused to stop until he reached the Henrico County line where he parked the vehicle and ran away. Though Officer DiSalvo lost sight of the suspect, K-9 Officer Monty Agee and K-9 Phantom responded and located the man hiding behind a nearby home. The man was detained and he immediately told the officers he was not who they were looking for, despite not knowing for whom they were looking. Despite this statement, officers not only found drugs in the parked vehicle, but also the man’s wallet and identification. Thanks to the officers’ good work, many illegal items were seized and the man was charged with several crimes. Good work!
