Congratulations to Deputy Donell Weatherspoon on his promotion to the rank of Corporal.

Deputy Christian Gandy

On April 20, 2015 the Lucky Spot convenience store at 1237 Gordon Hwy was robbed at gun point by two individuals while a third suspect waited nearby in a getaway vehicle. Witnesses observed the two gunmen run to the waiting car, described as white and possibly a Honda or Hyundai, parked on the side street.  The witness described the driver as a young black female.  Deputy Richard Justice immediately proceeded to the area and began a search for a car fitting that description.  About 40 minutes after the robbery, Deputy Justice saw a white Hyundai Elantra traveling on Deans Bridge Road approaching the Gordon Hwy.  He observed that the vehicle was operated by a young black female.  He, along with Deputy Christian Gandy conducted a traffic stop at Richmond Hill Rd and Deans Bridge Road and detained the suspect for investigators. Further investigation revealed this subject was in fact the getaway driver of the robbery at the Lucky Spot and appears to be involved in at least four other area robberies. In fact this arrest put into motion a chain reaction which identified two additional robbery suspects who were also arrested.

Deputies Justice and Gandy are to be commended for their quick action and dedication to duty which resulted in removing two violent felons from our streets. Your actions are appreciated by this agency and all of Richmond County.
