On Thursday March 7, at about 3:45 a.m., Advanced Police Officer
F.D. Gorham was investigating a suspicious vehicle with 2 occupants near 28
Upton Court.
Officer Gorham identified one of the men, and he was released.
But, the other man had no picture identification, and Officer Gorham could not
confirm his identity. Without probable cause to hold the unknown man,
Officer Gorham received consent and took a picture of him and he was not
detained. (The unknown man had provided a name, which turned out to
be fake.)
Officer Gorham circulated the picture of the unknown man among
officers in the Department. Through further investigation detectives in
the Criminal Intelligence Unit were able to positively identify the man as
Quadell Pollin, a wanted fugitive from Baltimore, MD.
With that new information, Officer Gorham searched his assigned
area Thursday night, where at about 12:30 a.m. he was able to locate and arrest
Pollin on S. Evans Street without incident.
Quadell Pollin has prior arrests in Maryland for robbery,
assault, drugs, and weapons offenses. He also has a history of assault on
law enforcement officers.
Quadell Pollin was charged with providing false information to
law enforcement to avoid prosecution, and he is being held at the Pitt County
Detention Center pending extradition to Maryland.
That is good police work.
