Felon Drops His Gun…Down His Pants

Posted on by

On September 14th, Officer Ryan Yoder and Kevin Golinsky were on patrol in the 500 block of Lafayette Street, and observed a car with extremely heavy window tinting. After stopping the car, officers noticed that the driver was shaking, sweating, and extremely nervous.

As the investigation continued the driver, an adult male, attempted to run from officers who noticed that he was armed. He was bravely pursued and caught nearby. Officers searched the man afterwards and found that a stolen handgun had fallen down the leg of his pants.

Thank you to these officers for removing an armed convicted felon from our streets!

Posted on by

On April 23rd 2022 at about 3 AM, members of the Lancaster City Bureau of Police responded to a noise complaint at a private club in the 300 block of N Queen Street. Officer Andrew Conard was the first to respond.

Officer Conard verified that the noise was at an unacceptable level and spoke with an adult male security guard at the establishment. During their conversation, Officer Conard realized that the man had a handgun tucked into his waistband. Officer Kevin Golinsky recognized the man and knew that he was a convicted felon. Officer Conard calmly took control of the handgun and arrested the male. It was found that the handgun had been stolen about 6 months ago from a neighboring jurisdiction.

A job well done to Officer Conard and Golinsky in taking a stolen gun out of a felon’s hands!

Officers Arrest Wanted Man Armed With Two Handguns

Posted on by

Just before 10 pm on April 10th 2022, Officers Kevin Golinsky and Travis Briggs were on patrol when they saw an unlicensed adult male driving a vehicle. Acting on the violation, officers stopped the car in the 200 block of N Queen Street.

While speaking with the driver and his adult male passenger, Officers Golinksy and Briggs noticed that both were extremely nervous. Low and behold, both had reason to be. The passenger was found to have a warrant and, once he realized the gig was up, the man alerted officers that he was armed with not one but two handguns. Officers quickly and safely seized the 9mm and Standard .38 semi-automatic handguns the man had hidden on his torso. The man, a convicted felon for prior arrests of drug dealing and illegal gun carrying, is safely behind bars.

Thank you Officers Golinksy and Briggs for taking action as well as for your bravery and professionalism!

One Night + Two Car Stops = Three Guns

Posted on by

It took about four hours for officers to remove three illegal firearms out of the hands of criminals.

Just before 11 PM on February 21st 2022 Officers William Wagner and Charley Darkes-Burkey made a traffic stop for a summary violation in the 300 block of W King Street. As Officer Wagner approached the driver, an adult male, he immediately found him to be hiding a handgun underneath of his leg. Both officers remained calm and clearly communicated with the driver and his adult male passenger. As the investigation continued to unfold, officers found that the passenger not only had a large amount of drugs but he also had a handgun with an extended magazine. Both of these weapons were possessed illegally.

Inside the car, officers were able to find a significant amount of PCP as well as Alprazolam and Oxycodone pills, about $400 worth of crack cocaine, and nearly $2,400.00. Three additional extended magazines were found, brining the total amount of ammunition accessible to the men to 122 rounds. The passenger, a man with a significant history of gun possession and violent crime, was also wanted through United States Probation and Parole.

At about 3:30 AM on the 22nd, Officer Kevin Golinsky observed a car which he was aware had been involved in a recent shooting. He was able to stop the car in the area of S Christian Street and Woodward Street. Completing a thorough traffic stop, Officer Golinksy was able to find that the passenger, an adult male, was hiding an illegally possessed handgun at his feet. This man also had a sizeable amount of marijuana with him as well. Not only was this a great arrest but the information gathered could possibly lead to an arrest in an open shooting investigation.

Both of these stops are displays of great police work. Three dangerous people and three firearms were removed from our streets. Thank you to these officers for a job well done!
