Todays Good News: You can run from officers, but you can’t hide……at least not in a tall, fenced-in parking lot. That was the case recently thanks to a great response from several Fourth Precinct officers who were able to identify and arrest a man who broke into a home in Jackson Ward. Officer Paul Gaines was the first officer on scene and after he spoke with the victim, he quickly broadcast the suspect’s description. Officer Darryl Lee was already heading toward the area when he spotted a man on a bicycle matching the suspect’s description. When the man saw Officer Lee, he started pedaling faster. Officer Lee attempted to stop the man, but he jumped off the bike and took off running. Officer Lee gave chase and with the assistance of Sergeant Jeremy Nierman and Officer Joseph Balducci, they trapped the suspect in a fenced-in parking lot. A carefully coordinated arrest of the suspect resulted in the discovery of a firearm on his person. After further investigation by Detective Patrick Mansfield, the man was arrested and charged with burglary, possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and obstruction of justice. He was later also charged with burglary and grand larceny for another incident during which he was able to steal the firearm he had when arrested. Good work officers!
