Today’s Good News
Thanks to the speedy response of several First Precinct Officers recently and the good nose of K-9 Arek, two men were quickly arrested after they broke into a home on North 20th Street. The first officers on scene--Officers Joachin Okonkwo, James Spada, Kevin Hyde, Jermaine Powell, Stephen Butler, Sgt. Marvin Marsh and Lt. Dan Minton—secured the scene and set up a perimeter until additional units arrived to search the house. Focus Mission Team Sgt. Raymond Fitts and Officers Thomas Gilbert, John Rotondi and Brian Parker with K-9 Officer James Turner and K-9 Arek then entered the residence and took both men safely into custody. Both men were then interviewed and charged with burglary. Good teamwork officers!
