News and Notes

On 3/26 on the morning watch (10:00 pm to 7:00 am) after using the Bank of America ATM, the victim and friend were walking north on Frederica Street when a car pulled out of the library parking lot - the driver got out and yelled "give me the money".  The victim wisely gave him his wallet which was also a cell phone holder.  The suspect got back into his car and fled.
