During the month of March, Officer Stevens was instrumental in the recovery of two guns in two seperate incidents.  On 3-5-2010, Officer Stevens responded to assist other Officers on a call for a “Flourishing.”  Upon hearing the description, he located the subject in the area and recovered a loaded .40 caliber handgun, which the subject hid in the area.

On 3-12-2010, Officer Stevens responded to a call for a “Suspicious person with drugs.”  Upon arriving, he was able to identify the subjects involved and again found a loaded handgun in the gangway, where the suspect attempted to hide it.  In both cases the guns were stolen from within the city of St. Louis.
