May 2009 Officers of the Month: P.O. Steven Ortballs & P.O. Brian North-Murphy
Posted By: amber on May 5, 2009 in Officer of the Month - Comments: No Comments »
During the month of May, Officers Steven Ortbals and Brian North-Murphy arrested 10 individuals resulting in the issuance of 12 felony warrants issued and 5 misdemeanors. The charges included Tampering 1st 3 counts, Resisting Arrest (F) 2 counts, Statutory Rape 3 counts (Capias), VMCSL Poss (F) 2 counts, Assault 2nd, UUW/CCW Federal Prosecution, Misdemeanor Assault 3rd, and Tampering 2nd.
The arrest included five subjects operating two stolen trucks. Officers responded to a call for Shots Fired and developed information from citizens that two stolen trucks were chasing each other in the area and being operated in a very dangerous manner, endangering public welfare. Officers Ortbals and North-Murphy were able to locate both trucks. And you’re not going to believe this — both trucks collided with each other trying to elude officers. All five occupants exited both vehicles and fled the scene. The Officers’ diligence and dedication to duty resulted in the apprehension of all five subjects and warrants were issued on all five. One of the subjects was also wanted for stealing a department bait vehicle earlier in the month.
Another arrest was for a subject armed with a .25 semi automatic pistol and a significant amount of Marijuana. Officers responded to call for a “Shooting”. After interviewing the victim and noting several inconsistencies in his statement, the Officers discovered a firearm and drugs the suspect had attempted to conceal. A federal charge for a Convicted Felon in Possession of a Firearm was issued.
All the officers in the Seventh District do such good work every day. Sometimes it’s not just about a single arrest. But it’s about consistency and continually fighting the good fight.
