Corporal Michael Humphreys,

   On January 13, 2015, while on concentrated patrol in Zone 6 for the increase in day time burglaries, Corporal Michael Humphreys and Deputy Calvin Davis got out on foot in Trinity Manor Apartments at 2375 Barton Chapel Rd to check the apartment complex.  Deputies observed two unknown black males behind Building 6 leaning over some unknown objects.  Deputies attempted to walk toward the subjects to speak to them when the subjects split up and walked away in an attempt to avoid deputies.  Corporal Humphreys and Deputy Davis were able to make contact with one of the subjects between Buildings 9 and 10 and retrieved a Play Station controller that the subject threw down.  While both deputies were speaking with the subject, Deputy Rachel Hardin went to the location where the subjects were first observed and found three flat screen televisions and a PlayStation 3.  During the investigation Deputy Brantley, H-2, was dispatched to 3618 Brussels St in reference to a burglary where three flat screen televisions and a PlayStation 3 were stolen.  Corporal Humphreys and Deputy Davis were able to back track the subject’s shoe prints through a wooded area to the recent burglary location at 3618 Brussels Street.  The subject was arrested and charged with burglary.

Thanks to the efforts and dedication of Corporal Humphreys and Deputy Davis, a burglary suspect was taken off the streets.   Their actions are appreciated by this office and all of Richmond County.

Deputy Sudiran Soosaipillai,

On Wednesday February 25, 2015 at 1206 hours Deputy Sudiran Soosaipillai was assisting Deputy Jarrett Nieves arresting a possible burglary suspect on 3rd Street at Ellis Street.  During this time a Red Honda Accord (GA-982AGM) stopped at the west bound stop sign on Ellis Street at 3rd Street.  The front seat passenger waived and said "Hello."  Deputy Soosaipillai recognized the driver of the vehicle who had four Counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon pending for his arrest.  The driver of the vehicle, Timothy Patrick Almy,  who was taken into custody by Deputy Soosaipillai with no further incident.  This arrest then led to two stolen lap top computers being recovered in the suspect's Room at 210 Boy Scout Road (Knight's Inn).  One of the lap top computers was taken in a burglary in the state of South Carolina.  The other lap top computer was taken in a burglary at 212A Broad Street in the Olde Town Neighborhood. Due to Deputy Sudiran Soosaipillai being observant and knowledgeable of the area he patrols, a potentially dangerous felon was taken off the streets. The suspect was linked to two burglaries and stolen property was recovered and returned to the victim's.
