Today’s Good News
First Precinct Officer Reynaldo Perez recently stopped a vehicle on Accommodation Street for a traffic offense, but suspected something more was going on after talking with the driver. He returned to his car and as he requested one of the Department’s drug detection K9s, the driver suddenly sped off. Officer Perez followed the vehicle, relaying information to backup units about drugs being thrown from the vehicle as it moved. The vehicle then crashed a short distance away and officers quickly arrested the driver and identified the passenger. They were also able to recover several grams of cocaine and marijuana that had been thrown from the vehicle. Officer Perez charged the driver with numerous crimes and obtained warrants for the passenger. Good job!
