Officers Arrest Menace to Neighborhood

Posted on by

A juvenile male was arrested with a handgun after making threats to shoot numerous people as well as a dog.

On June 6th Officer Tyler Chubb responded to the area surrounding the 500 block of Woodward Street for a report of an unknown juvenile male that had threatened to shoot the victim. Officer Chubb was able to learn what the juvenile was wearing and that this same juvenile had threatened to shoot another person in the area.

Officer Chubb was able to locate the second person who had received threats to be shot by the same juvenile who had displayed a firearm while doing so. As Officer Chubb was receiving this information, the original victim approached him and informed him that the juvenile was walking nearby. Officer Chubb radioed for additional officers to help find the juvenile.

Officer Andrew Mease responded to the area and was able to find a person matching the description provided by the victims nearby. Officer Chubb was able to approach this male and attempted to stop him. The juvenile immediately fled and was bravely pursued by Officer Chubb. During the chase, Officer Chubb noticed that the juvenile had thrown an object over a nearby fence. Shortly after this, the juvenile was apprehended. After the pursuit, Officer Chubb checked the area where the object had been thrown and found an untraceable 9mm semi-automatic handgun. 

Before leaving the area, Officer Chubb was approached by a third victim. This person stated that they and their dog were threatened to be shot by the juvenile, while he was clutching a bulky object in his waistband, earlier in the day.

An extremely dangerous individual is now off of our streets and behind bars thanks to the hard work and bravery of our officers! 

Lancaster City Police Ring in Spring 2022 With Five Guns

Posted on by

It was a beautiful Spring weekend in Lancaster City and the officers of the Lancaster City Police were out and about doing what they do best–keeping the City safe!

Officer J Hatfield kicked off the weekend just before 1 AM on March 19th. Responding to an active disturbance, Officer Hatfield watched as an adult male took a handgun from the inside of a car, put it in his waistband, and went to leave the area. Officer Hatfield immediately followed after him and bravely kept pursuing as the male removed the handgun and threw it over a fence. The man, a felon unable to possess a firearm, was quickly caught and his handgun was retrieved.

About half an hour later, Officers Ryan Yoder and Matthew Deibler took action when they saw a group of juveniles meandering about the 100 block of Locust Street. When officers went to speak with them, the group scattered in separate directions. As he was being pursued by Officer Yoder, one of the juvenile males removed a handgun from his waistband and threw it to the ground. He was arrested shortly after and found with a significant quantity of marijuana, crack cocaine, and heroin as well as just over $1,400. 

At about 2:30 AM on March 20th officers responded to the 200 block of E Liberty Street after receiving a report of a group of people breaking into parked vehicles. As Officer Jonathan Reppert was in the area he saw a group of juvenile males running from the area. Officer Reppert chased one of the males and quickly saw that he was armed with a handgun. Officer Reppert courageously chased the male through several dark alleys. Knowing that the male was trying to hide, Officer Reppert coordinated responding officers around the area to prevent the male from escaping. The plan worked as the male was unable to escape the watch of Officer Reppert and ran himself into being captured by Officer Tyler Chubb. After the arrest, Officer Eric Erb looked into a nearby yard and found the male’s discarded handgun. Officer Benjamin Strausser located a second handgun which had been thrown by another individual during a separate foot chase.

A little over an hour later, a convicted felon thought it was his lucky day as he found a handgun laying in the street. Unfortunately for him, a citizen watched the adult male conceal the gun and immediately called the police. Officer Eric Erb was able to locate the male and directed Officers Benjamin Rothermel and Grant Gale to him. The handgun was found, discarded by the male, several feet away. Upon his arrest, the male was also found to have a quantity of heroin.

These are just four examples of the great work our officers put in every day. Thank you to all of our officers for your hard work and courage. Lancastrians will have an easier time taking in the fresh spring air knowing that these guns, drugs, and criminals are off of the streets.

Officers Take Two Guns From The Streets

Posted on by

On the night of February 13th 2022, two illegally possessed guns were removed from streets of Lancaster by our officers.

Shortly before 9 PM, Officer Ryan Yoder was in the area of New Dorwart and Fremont Street. Using his training, experience, and keen sense of illegal activity, Officer Yoder was able to interrupt a drug sale occurring inside a vehicle. As he approached the vehicle some of the occupants fled. Staying with the vehicle, which still had several people inside, Officer Yoder was able to provide information on the persons who had run away to his fellow officers.

Officer Randall Myers and Charley Darkes-Burkey were able locate one of the fleeing persons, a juvenile male. The male surrendered immediately and announced that he was armed. Officer Myers was able to quickly and calmly disarm the male and retrieve the illegally possessed handgun from their waistband.

About one hour later, Officers Tyler Chubb and Harry Valverde stopped a vehicle in the 200 block of Beaver Street for summary violations. Officer Chubb spoke with the driver, an adult male. During his conversation with the driver, Officer Chubb realized that the male had illegal drugs with him. While continuing the investigation, Officer Chubb had the male step out from their car. During a check for weapons, the male attempted to run from Officer Chubb. After a very short foot-chase the male was apprehended and his illegally possessed handgun, which he had hidden inside his fanny-pack, was found.

This is a result of fantastic pro-active police work by these officers. Thank you to all involved for making Lancaster City a safer place to be!
