a woman driving a burgundy two door sedan cut him off in traffic. So Lt. Sprague turned
on the lights and pulled the car over to speak with the driver.
As he went back to his car to wait for back-up and get results back from the check,
a male got out of the right side of the woman's car and ran north on Cranford Av. where
he was seen going over the fence towards Brockley Ave. Lt Sprague gave chase, then
doubled back to his car, and called for a grid to be formed to find the suspect.
Within minutes the grid was formed, and by talking with people in the homes and on the
street the police, narrowed the search to a few homes, and sent for Shep the police dog.
As they walked down the first driveway, Shep seemed nervous then suddenly
someone shouted, "He is in the bushes!"
A police officer closed the width of the driveway, grabbing the suspect and putting him
face down onto the concrete.
Quickly the suspect was cuffed.
As the suspect was being read his rights, someone mentioned he had a black bag as
he ran from the car. So the police went back and checked the yard and found...
A black bag with 240 packets of Heroin.
Back on Detroit, Shep goes through the car.
The woman driving was charged with trafficking, and child endangerment (her child was in the car)
and the male was charged with possession of heroin with intent to sell, and obstruction of justice.
It was amazing to watch it all happen, the police, doing their things and residents doing
their thing, and keeping a watch on their neighborhood.
Nice work Lakewood LPD!
