At the Right Place – At the Right Time

12.22.2011/11:36am   Robbery   5602 S.P.I.D.   1112220034

An off duty Officer, who was at a local Speedy Stop, stumbled onto a disturbance that landed one individual in jail.

As the Officer was shopping he noticed that the store clerk was attempting to stop an individual from leaving the store with items he had concealed in his jacket. The Officer then approached the subject and identified himself as a Police Officer both verbally and visually, by displaying his badge.

The Officer then asked the individual to retrieve the stolen items from his jacket and wait for police.  The suspect did not like the idea and attempted to assault the Officer. He swung and missed the Officer but struck the clerk instead. The Officer attempted to take the individual into custody but the subject began to struggle with him. Eventually, the officer was able to detain the individual until on-duty Officers arrived and placed the subject in custody.

After giving several false names, the individual was identified as Hector Trillo (11-14-1969) He was booked for Robbery and Fail to Identify (Fugitive from Justice).
