Go ahead and run...

On Monday January 7, at about 1:28 pm, Greenville Police Officers responded to Radio Shack at the Greenville Mall in reference to 2 men who were attempting to buy computers using a stolen or fraudulent credit card.

Officer T.M. Hindes tried to detain one suspect near the food court area, and a foot chase ensued.  APO J.H. Brown and Officer Hindes chased the suspect across the mall parking lot and toward Arlington Village.  They was assisted by Sgt. K.L. Hadnott, who intercepted the suspect near BW3’s Restaurant.

While that foot chase was taking place, Cpl. C.L. Wormell was in foot pursuit with the second suspect, running across Greenville Blvd.  That suspect was captured near the intersection of Greenville Blvd, & Arlington Blvd.

Both suspects were arrested.   Further investigation by detectives from the Financial Crimes Unit found these suspects in possession of multiple fraudulent credit and debit cards.

Craig Gause was charged with 6 counts of Financial Card Forgery, and 1 count  each of Possession of Counterfeit Instruments, and Obtaining Property by False Pretenses.  Nathaniel Gunter was charged 1 count each of Possession & Manufacture of Fraudulent ID, and Obtaining Property by False Pretense.

The case is still under investigation and additional charges are possible. 

Hats off to the A-Platoon officers for bringing their track shoes to work on Monday!
