Today’s Good News

First Precinct Sgt. Stanley Sutton recently wrote to commend Officers Erica Maine, Joachin Okonkwo and Michael Stinger for their coordinated efforts to save a man’s life last week:

“Officer Okonkwo and Maine received a call for a male sitting on the guardrail on the Mechanicville Turnpike overpass over I-64.  Officers Okonkwo, Maine and Stinger all arrived on scene at the same time. Officers Okonkwo and Maine approached the man who immediately threw his feet over the guardrails and told the officers not to come any closer. As units from Virginia State Police and Henrico Police started arriving, the offender became more agitated then crawled down and started hanging off of the interstate sign above the westbound traffic on I-64.

 “At this time Officer Maine talked to the offender and calmed him down, Officer Okonkwo took control and demanded that all the other agencies back away. Officer Stinger took control of the traffic that was flowing across the bridge and westbound on I-64.  

“When I arrived on scene, Officer Maine was still keeping the offender talking and attempting to get his information while we worked to block additional traffic. Officer Maine kept the offender talking and continued to address his needs and questions while Officers Okonkwo and Stinger kept the area secure and ran the man’s information to try and get some background information.  

“Officer Maine was able to get the man’s wallet and mother’s name and number.  Officer Maine kept this man talking for a little over an hour until the hostage negotiators arrived.  Prior to the hostage negotiators arrival, Officer Maine had the man agreeing to come back up on the bridge if all the other officers didn’t rush him.   

“Within minutes off the hostage negotiators arrival, the man came back up on the bridge and eventually agreed to go to the hospital voluntarily. All of the officers received congrats on an outstanding job from Unit 9 Capt. Yvonne Crowder, Henrico Police and the all of the Virginia State Police personnel on scene. The negotiators also sent me messages to commend Officer Maine on an outstanding job she did talking to the offender.” Kudos to Officers Maine, Okonkwo and Stinger!

Kudos to Officer Raymond Mitchell who was named Fourth Precinct’s Officer of the Month for April! Hardly a night passes in Fourth Precinct when Officer Mitchell isn’t stopping to arrest a wanted person. 

Officer Mitchell has made it one of his top priorities to get to know the people in his sector so that he knows where to find those up to no good if the need arises. This is obviously very helpful when it comes to finding wanted persons. These individuals are wanted for burglaries, thefts and other crimes and their removal from the street has a direct, positive impact for the citizens of Sector 411.

In addition to making three felony arrests and seven misdemeanor arrests in April, Officer Mitchell also served seven warrants, ran 141 radio calls and assisted 53 other units on their calls. And he did it all with a smile! Keep up the great work, Officer Raymond Mitchell—our Fourth Precinct Officer of the Month for April!

Today’s Good News

Kudos to Officer Jacob DeBoard who was named Third Precinct’s Officer of the Month for April! Master Police Officer DeBoard handled a variety of calls last month, but there was one incident in particular where he went above and beyond the call of duty to help a victim who was being dangerously stalked by a former romantic partner.

It started when he was called to investigate a burglary, but it was evident through his investigation that the former romantic partner was causing the problems. Though he could have simply taken the report and passed it along to detectives, he took the time to review the home’s security footage—which identified the offender—before obtaining several warrants and helping the victim obtain a permanent protective order.

He continued to help the victim on several follow up incidents and calls and worked with the commonwealth’s attorney’s office to ensure a successful prosecution. 

About his good actions, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Christine Cestaro wrote a long thank you email that reads in part: “He has spent hours of his time dealing with a terrified victim, doing his best to help her feel safe and calm. He ensured patrol was aware of her residence, accepted countless phone calls at all hours from me and patrol, and promptly responded to the victim to keep her updated. I can’t thank him enough.”

We can’t either. Good work Officer Jacob DeBoard—our Third Precinct Officer of the Month for April.

Today’s Good News

Kudos to Officer Todd Hall who was named Second Precinct’s Officer of the Month for April! Officer Hall’s name should really be “Johnny on the Spot” for his productivity, his drive to make the community a better place and for two incredible responses he made last month.

Early in the month, he was the first officer on the scene of a triple shooting. He didn’t hesitate to apply his medical training to one of the victims he found suffering critical injuries. His hard work kept the victim stable until the scene was secure enough for the Richmond Ambulance Authority to enter and transport the victim to the hospital. Doctors later said the man would have likely died were it not for Officer Hall’s efforts.

During the second incident, Officer Hall was one of several officers who responded to a homicide scene at Southside Plaza. Thanks to his good knowledge of his sector, he knew there were only two exits out of that location so he listened for the vehicle description and slowed his response to monitor vehicles leaving in the area. 

Minutes later, he spotted the suspect vehicle, quickly made a U-turn and conducted a traffic stop that resulted in the suspect’s quick arrest as well as the seizure of the murder weapon still in the suspect’s possession. These are just some of the reasons Officer Todd Hall is our April Second Precinct Officer of the Month! Thank you and congratulations!

RICHMOND POLICE DEPARTMENT

DAILY CRIME REPORT

Today’s Good News

Kudos to Second Precinct Detective Pedro who was named the Department’s Problem Solver of the Month for April! Detective Riddle really stepped up to a huge challenge in April. Not only did he thoroughly investigate and clear several of the 45 property crimes and robberies assigned to him, but he also took on the caseload of a fellow detective who was promoted out of the unit. 

This work required him to flex his schedule to cover a variety of shifts, all the while continuing to investigate several crimes. Detective Riddle handily accepted the challenge and even made the time to train the detective’s replacement.

Of his efforts, Detective Sergeant Sean Adams wrote, “Detective Riddle prioritized his cases appropriately and managed to diligently produce successful conclusions in them while balancing his overall obligations to the unit.”

Thank you, and congratulations to our Problem Solver of the Month for April: Second Precinct Detective Pedro Riddle!

Today’s Good News

Kudos to Communications Officer Natasha Beard who was named the Department’s Communications Officer of the Month for April! One of the most dangerous and challenging incidents to handle for an officer—or a communications officer—is a vehicle pursuit. How they respond to each twist and turn during the incident can make a difference between life and death and is critical to a successful conclusion. 

That was the case one day in April for CO Beard when a driver refused to stop for an officer and took off at a high rate of speed. She immediately dispatched two additional units to respond and began taking meticulous notes of the vehicle’s route as it headed toward the interstate. The suspect vehicle eventually struck another vehicle before crashing and being taken into custody. Through it all, CO Beard remained calm and confident while multitasking the details of the incident.

This is just one of several reasons CO Natasha Beard is our pick for Communications Officer of the Month for April! Thank you and congratulations!
