Here is a summary of last week for those of you who missed it:
On Thursday August 23, the Traffic Safety Unit conducted another all out effort to enforce traffic safety laws. The TSU worked the intersection of East 14th Street & Greenville Blvd and wrote 113 traffic tickets in an 8-hour period. The TSU will conduct enforcement again this week, on Thursday, concentrating on the residential subdivisions. We emphasize the goal of these enforcement efforts is to gain voluntary compliance with traffic safety laws.
On Friday August 24, police investigated the report of larceny from Kohl's Department Store. 2 suspects stole $339 worth of tennis shoes. Officer R. O'Brien has obtained an arrest warrant for Shaun Dontrell Cratch in the case. He was seen putting several pairs of shoes down into his pants. His female accomplice concealed shoes in her purse. Cratch will be arrested soon.
On Saturday afternoon August 25, officers from C-Platoon responded to the report of a man exposing himself to children in a local shopping center. Parents and witnesses chased the man through the area until police arrived. Officers set up a perimeter and used a police dog to find the man hiding in woods near Lynndale subdivision. He is 58 year old Edward E. Watson from Washington, NC. He was charged with indecent exposure and taken to jail.
On Sunday morning August 26, officers responded to the River's Edge Apartment complex in reference to a mental commitment. Officers have dealt with this person in the past. In this particular incident, the young man was damaging property and cutting himself. Police had to use a non-lethal taser to subdue him and get him to the hospital.
