Request for Council Action Page 2 of 2 indeed just committed a burglary. This resident was instrumental in the capture and arrest of the two suspects by her prompt and immediate action. Linda Tally On 1/9/00 Linda Tally of 776 Parker Avenue witnessed a neighbor string a heavy-duty extension cord over a tree limb and attempt to hang himself. She immediately called 911 and then ran to the neighbor's assistance, talking him out of the suicide attempt. She stayed with him until squads arrived. Without Tally's alertness and willingness to help her neighbor, this individual may have succeeded in tragically taking his own life. The following officers will be recognized and awarded with letters of commendation: Offic�r Mike Holtmeier On 5/12/99 Officer Mike Holtmeier was working off duty at 1640 Hwy 36 when he witnessed three suspicious males walk into the elevator of the apartment complex. After determining that the males did not go onto a residential floor, Officer Holtmeier called for assistance from working squads in searching the underground parking area. Officer Holtmeier found that the lock on a door leading to the garage had been freshly damaged in a burglary attempt. Officers found and arrested the three suspects and found burglary tools on their person. The suspects admitted to the burglary with the intention of breaking into cars. If not for Officer Holtmeier's alertness and follow up, the suspects may have gotten away. Officer Kevin Johnson On 12/2/99 Officer Kevin Johnson was responding to a prowler call at 405 S. Owasso Blvd. He noticed a suspicious vehicle leaving the area and made a traffic stop. Officer Johnson saw two crowbars in the vehicle and detained the suspect while other squads checked the location of the call. Officers determined that the house had been burglarized. Officer Johnson arrested the suspects and obtained a full admission that the suspect had broken into one home, and attempted to break into another. Officer Johnson's alertness and decision to stop this car ended in the arrest and clearance of two home invasion burglary cases. Officers Kevin Johnson, Matt Marshall, Butch Perkins and Sgt. Christensen On 5/19/99 Officers Kevin Johnson, Matt Marshall, Butch Perkins and Sgt. Christensen responded to a criminal damage to property in progress at 1850 Chattsworth. Two adult suspects fled the area on foot and were arrested by officers after some effort. The suspects had smashed 5 vehicle windshields, with damage estimated at $8,348. Both suspects were interviewed and admitted their crime. The great teamwork and investigation by these 4 officers led to two arrests and subsequent charges of 1't degree criminal damage to property. Officer Matt Marshall On 7/1/99 Officer Matt Marshall was working off duty at the Super 8 Motel, 2401 Prior Ave. While walking the hallways, he noticed a strong smell of marijuana coming from room #227.
