The Greer Police Department is asking for help for information on a suspect in an armed robbery at the Game Stop store at 14039 E. Wade Hampton at 7:25 a.m. today.
Police report the suspect entered the store and demanded the money out of the registers. The report said $263 in cash was stolen.
The Greer Police Department is seeking information into the identity of the woman in these photographs.
The female in the photograph is a suspect in the use of stolen credit cards at various locations in the Greenville, Greer, and Spartanburg area.
Police Chief Dan Reynolds will be have to readjust his department’s 2013-2014 proposed budget if the Department of Justice approves a COPS (Cops Oriented Policing Service) hiring grant for three new Greer police officers.
Reynolds requested and received City Council’s approval to pre-apply by the May 22 deadline. The matching grant will cover 75 percent of the new officers salaries and benefits for three years with the city to pay 25 percent of the cost. The city will be required to keep the officers for a fourth year at its expense.
Angie Childers was prompted to be ready to photograph the next person to be recognized at the 2013 National Citizens Police Academy Association (CPAA) Conference held in Orlando, Fla. Childers would be surprised to learn she would be photographing herself.
Childers who organized two new Greer police academies in 2012, youth and adults, was recognized as the Alumnus of the Year by the CPAA at its annual awards presentation. She earned the Greer Police Department Chiefs Award earlier this year.
Ten years ago to the day Greer Police Det. Dale Arterburn can remember having lunch at Fatz with some co-workers. “It was a quiet day and I ordered French onion soup. I never got to eat it,” Arterburn recalled.
Lt. Eric Pressley, that same fateful day, was in Greenville. “I was standing in the rain in the middle of the park.”
