Officers Speak to Students.
On May 18th, Hedrick Elementary School hosted a Career Day for 3rd through 5th grade students. Officer Shane Menz and his canine partner, “Immo,” visited with the students, as did Officer Cindy Coyle. Broken up into four sessions, the officers spoke to a number of students. Both spoke about a career in law enforcement and how to achieve their career goals. Additionally, the students were able to observe “Immo” and ask Menz questions about a day in the life of a Police K-9 Handler. Officer Menz hopes that the students enjoyed the opportunity as much as he did.
Creekside Elementary recently hosted a bicycle rodeo. Officers Joel Baker and Greg Stern participated in the event, teaching the students the importance of following traffic laws and wearing bicycle helmets.

On May 20th, Officers Pennington, Schaffer, and Wallace were dispatched to a theft that just occurred in the 2400 block of South I35E. Officer Jesse Flores was working as off-duty security at the location and advised that a suspect had just stolen two diamond rings and fled in a white Ford SUV. Officers Schaffer and Wallace went to intercept the suspect vehicle while Officer Pennington responded to the location of the theft. Officer Pennington was able to obtain and relay a description of the suspect and the license plate of the suspect vehicle.
Officers Schaffer and Wallace soon found the white Ford with the same Texas license plate. A passenger in the car matched the suspect’s description. Officer Schaffer stopped the vehicle to conduct an investigation into the theft.
The suspect was positively identified and admitted to stealing the diamond rings. Additionally, Officer Schaffer remembered an earlier call about a theft of service from a local restaurant which the suspect also admitted to. He was arrested for theft over $1,500. Detectives will obtain a warrant for the suspect’s arrest, stemming from the theft of service offense. |

Police Investigate Deceased Person
At 5 p.m. on Friday, May 18th, Patrol Officers were dispatched to the report of a deceased person at a residence in the 1200 block of North Cowan Avenue. Upon the arrival of officers, they located a 61 year-old female that had passed away. Detective Wawro was called to the scene and his investigation into the death continues.

Detective Identifies Forgery Suspect
In February of 2012, a suspect passed a counterfeit $50 bill to a local merchant. The case was assigned to Detective Wilson for follow-up investigation. The only evidence available was the security video that captured the offense. Wilson collected still images from this video and showed them to people that he hoped could identify the suspect. One individual was able to identify the suspect for Wilson. At that point, Wilson began to coordinate his efforts with the U.S. Secret Service. The investigation continues. |
