This time we cleaned up the cannabis cultivation farm and gained a lot.
Nearly 2 tons of mature and immature cannabis plants were collected. Of course, this is the weight of the complete plant. To make cannabis on the market, there will definitely not be much.
Twelve suspects were captured, including the two principal criminals, the Baines brothers.
There were 7 guns, including 4 pistols, 2 shotguns, and a double-barreled shotgun. After comparing the serial numbers of these 7 guns, it was found that they were all legally purchased guns and belonged to the Baines brothers.
Finally, the most important thing is the money. A total of more than 800,000 in cash was searched from the farm and the Baines brothers' home.
According to the size of the farm that was raided, if they started planting after the Frog Gang was wiped out, they would only be able to harvest one season at most, and the second season has not yet reached maturity for sale. They should not have that much income, but it has not been interrogated yet. Sources of funds.
In the past, drug-related cases were basically handed over to the DEA office in Little Rock. This big harvest was the county bureau's own. For the media, this was already a pretty big event.
Chief James personally held a small press conference in the lobby of the county police building. All present were reporters from local TV newspapers in Little Rock.
Except for Superintendent Karger and Ally, other police officers have returned to their respective divisions to continue their duties.
Jimmy and other headquarters personnel worked together to pack all the marijuana confiscated this time into black plastic bags and placed them on one side of the podium, and on the other side was a table with seven guns placed on it. As for cash, it is relatively sensitive and is not displayed.
After the reporters took their seats, Director James walked behind the podium.
"Thank you all for coming to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office press conference. This is about the marijuana farm case we uncovered on December 19th, yesterday. On the left and right here are the marijuana we seized and the items found at the scene. weapons."
Director James stretched out his hand and gestured to the left and right.
“Based on intelligence and long-term tracking and monitoring, we have mastered the details of the suspect’s cannabis farm this time. Yesterday, police officers led by Superintendent Kagg and Superintendent Avery raided the cannabis farm and captured the suspect at the scene.
After our preliminary inventory, we found that nearly 2 tons of fresh marijuana were seized this time, including the black plastic bags on the left. These will be kept on file later and transferred to the DEA for unified destruction.
The seven guns found this time were all purchased legally by the suspects, but they were not used for home defense but were brought to the marijuana farm. These were all found at the marijuana farm. "
Director James gave a brief introduction and then started asking questions from reporters.
"I would like to ask Director James if we can announce the situation of the suspect arrested this time."
"Sorry, as the case is still being processed, information about the suspect cannot be released for the time being."
"OK, let me ask a police-related question. We heard that there is a police officer in the police station who was nicknamed the Butcher because he killed too many suspects. Can you please introduce this police officer?"
"Sorry, your question is not within the scope of this case briefing. If there are no other questions, this briefing will end."
Director James immediately stopped the press conference and turned back to his office. Others began to move the marijuana bags and guns in front of them to temporarily store them in the evidence room and then transfer them to the DEA for destruction.
The police were doing their own thing, and the reporters and cameramen were completely left alone and unattended.
This time the reporter’s question directly hit the lungs of the police department. Chief James was worried about this before. For the police department and sister units, having a police officer who can be nicknamed is truly elite. But to outsiders, this nickname means something different.
As a powerful department, the emergence of a butcher policeman means more casualties and potential dangers to outsiders. Once it is confirmed, it will be difficult for Jimmy to face the police, especially the patrol police, who need to face him all the time. For ordinary people, the only place to go is in the logistics department or a violent department such as SWAT.
Director James doesn’t want to abandon Jimmy, a useful person, for nothing. Now he is working as a support at the headquarters. People in other divisions are very aware of Jimmy’s role. In case something needs to be tackled, it’s good to have someone of your own. How big it is, only the people who are concerned with it know best.
What's more, Jimmy's image in the police station is very positive. He works overtime without any complaints, has a good personality, has no bad habits, and does not have the arrogance of young people. If he were not still young and unmarried, he would be a perfect good person and good colleague. template. Well, Jimmy is only 20 years old now, so of course the driver's license says he is 24 years old.
With the cooperation of a group of colleagues from the police station who wanted to protect their own image, the reporter still returned without success. Of course, the main reason was that they did not intend to conduct a large-scale investigation for the time being. After all, in addition to the county police station, there are too many county departments or small People in the Stone City Police Department knew who the Butcher was, and it wasn't difficult to find the answer. This time the question is completely a double-edged sword. Regardless of whether the topical figure can be found or not, there is nothing to lose anyway.
Jimmy himself was also at the scene. When he heard this kind of question, he also got chills down his spine. He should be more careful in the future. If it is not possible, should he wear a mask when he is on duty? Well, forget it, I'm not from the confidentiality department, so wearing a mask is too obvious.
After Jimmy got off work, he went directly to an optical store. His goal was the kind of big sunglasses that can cover half of his face. From now on, he will wear these when going to work during the day.
The time has come to December 24, a special day and the busiest day for police officers in recent times. Of course, Jimmy is still a member of the overtime team, and due to staffing arrangements, Jimmy has to work a round of extra-long standby overtime, up to 24 hours, or even 36 hours.
The reason why we have to work overtime for so long is entirely because after the division, the number of police officers in each division is currently only enough for regular day and night shifts. Christmas is regarded by ordinary people as a day for family reunions and dinners, and it is also a day with a high incidence of cases. As a There are only a few police officers in the headquarters who can support each division. Jimmy will work from noon on the 24th to the morning of the 25th, and then continue to work overtime at the police station during the day on the 25th depending on the situation.
Director James and Deputy Director Martin are also among the overtime workers. Deputy Director Martin even needs to provide on-site support like Jimmy.
Jimmy prepared some snacks in advance today and put some candies in his pocket to replenish energy at night. Jimmy turned on the radio and connected to the dispatch center, reported his standby status, and then came the task of supporting the state police to intercept Highway 630.
Jimmy was too familiar with Highway 630, a highway that ran directly through Little Rock, and he didn't know what these fleeing people were thinking, racing with the ASP Highway Patrol on the highway.
The best way to avoid the highway patrol is to find a highway exit and go directly into a residential area. There are many roads in Little Rock with slopes. Just keep your distance and go up the slope, find an intersection and turn, and there will be There is a high probability that you can enter the ASP Highway Patrol's blind spot.
However, of the chases I encountered this year, eight out of ten would only speed up and escape on the highway, so there was basically no chance of escaping. For highway patrol officers, this is their skill to make a living. Chases and PITs are far better than ordinary ones. The driver must be skilled. The remaining two who fled were basically driving on urban or residential roads, and their ability to find blind spots and avoid the police's sight was really poor.
The county police station building is actually not far from Highway 630. Jimmy set off from the headquarters and rushed to the nearest highway entrance. He used the intercom to contact the dispatch center to make sure that he had not missed it, so he waited at the intersection with peace of mind and did not go directly to the highway.
A new situation came from the dispatch center. The suspect's pickup truck had come down from the previous highway entrance and entered a residential area. Jimmy turned on the police lights and sirens, turned around and chased them towards their location.
This is a smart driver. Coupled with the stability of the pickup truck, he was not killed by the ASP on the highway and successfully got off the city road. Jimmy listened to the new location given by the dispatch center and turned around on the road to change roads. Try See if you can get in front of them.
The current tracking route is completely on the rural road on the edge of the city. The speed limit here is 40. Jimmy is also adjusting his route based on the new news coming from the dispatch center. Finally, he sees the police lights of the police car ahead. , a red pickup truck ran in front, followed by two police cars.
Jimmy rushed directly towards the pickup truck. When the pickup truck saw another police car approaching, it immediately turned at the T-junction and entered the side road. Jimmy followed the two police cars. The first police car belonged to the state police, and the second police car belonged to the state police. The first truck is from the LRPD Little Rock Police Department, and the third truck is from the Pulaski County Police Department. The treatment of this pickup truck is really good.
With the ASP State Police patrol in front, Jimmy and the LRPD in front followed obediently and did not try to overtake. Anyway, with the big brother holding up the front, the pickup truck couldn't run.
At the T-junction ahead, the pickup truck continued to turn and passed several intersections in a row. The ASP buddy was probably anxious too. It was too dangerous to drive above 100 on such a rural road.
When the ASP police car saw that there was no car in front of it, it accelerated directly and got close to the pickup truck. The pickup truck looked at the movement direction of the police car behind it and adjusted left and right accordingly, blocking the position to prevent the ASP police car from entering the PIT position.
There was another T-junction ahead, and the pickup truck needed to turn left or right. When the pickup truck was slowing down, the ASP police car behind directly hit the right rear of the pickup truck. A lateral force pushed the pickup truck sideways, plus the pickup truck's own weight. , parked directly sideways at the T-junction near the roadside.
The LRPD police car following behind him cut in diagonally and parked the police car at the front of the pickup truck. Jimmy followed at the end. After parking the car, he got out of the car and pointed his gun at the cab. At this distance, the pickup truck definitely didn't have bulletproof glass or a single vehicle. With bulletproof glass, Jimmy can guarantee that as long as he makes any movement, the driver will be injured or even killed immediately.
After the ASP police officer stabilized his car, he also got out of the car and pointed his gun at the driver. Since the state police were present, Jimmy and the LRPD officers just pointed their guns at the driver and did not say anything. The state police officer asked the driver to get out of the car and lie down, and then cuffed him.
Seeing that he had nothing else to do, Jimmy put away his gun, returned to the police car, and turned around to return to the city.
Although this kind of support does not come every day, I have experienced it a lot. The ASP brothers are indeed professional. There are very few occasions when Jimmy needs to go to the PIT. Most of them are solved by the state police themselves. The county police and city police are basically backups, and they are basically backups that are of little use.
It was destined to be hard for him to rest today. Before Jimmy had driven very far, he received an arrangement from the dispatch center to support the police officers from the Southern District Bureau to assist in arresting people.
American police officers generally wear 1-2 handcuffs. Sometimes if there is a group incident, a fight between multiple people, or a large number of people in a stopped car, other police officers will be needed to support them. On the one hand, they will bring more handcuffs to handcuff the person, and on the other hand, they will bring more handcuffs to handcuff the person. On the other hand, it is also necessary to use the back seat cage of other police cars to pick up people.
Jimmy rushed to the scene, and sure enough, a car was stopped, and four people, two of whom had been sent to the cage of the police car, and the other two were leaning on the hood, waiting to be processed.
Jimmy went over and cuffed the two men, put them in the back seat of his police car, and followed the police officers back to the South Precinct Branch. They would stay there for a day, and then be sent to the detention center after being registered.
The reason for the detention was confirmed when Jimmy chatted with the police just now. Speeding, reckless driving on city streets, and being stopped by the police PIT. After the police officers smelled marijuana from the driver, they searched the vehicle and searched the vehicle. A package of illegal drugs was found, which was heavy, estimated to be more than 50 grams.
In this case, there is no chance of running away, and the case record must be kept. The key is that today is Christmas Eve, and their family is probably going to explode.
Just running around to support him, Jimmy managed to survive until 9pm, then returned to the police station to have his own dinner, the old custom, pizza + salad.
Jimmy has no desire to complain about this kind of overtime diet. As long as he is full and has enough energy, the taste is not important. The key is that he can call it in advance and microwave it when he wants to eat...
On weekends and holidays, Jimmy still cooks for himself. As he cooks more and more, he has completely restored the home-cooked dishes in his memory. If the ingredients and seasonings were not so complete, he might be able to cook more. Dishes.
Jimmy was enjoying his dinner pizza when a 999 support call came from the dispatch center. Jimmy put down the pizza in his hand and rushed out of the police station, went to the parking lot and drove off.
999 is the code for a police officer being shot. Normally, nearby police officers immediately provide support, and police officers from afar will come as soon as possible. This is equivalent to "an arrow piercing the clouds and thousands of troops coming to meet each other" for the police force.
No one wants to hear this call coming from the dispatch center. If you are lucky, you will be fine after being hospitalized. If you are unlucky, the consequences may be disability, retirement or even death.
The shooting occurred near the Dam Bridge. The Dam Bridge is a place for biking and hiking on this side of Little Rock to enjoy the scenery of the Arkansas River. There is a biking and walking passage on the other side, and cars are not allowed on the bridge.
When Jimmy drove up, there were already many police officers around. In addition to the county police, there were also several city police cars parked.
