Good morning!  A brief note before I report the activity of the last two weeks in Underwood Hills...

On Monday, February 10th, I was in foot pursuit of a homicide suspect that was located in an apartment complex in East Point.  He was wanted for a murder that occurred in Atlanta in 2023.  As I was in pursuit, I traversed a small retaining wall.  I landed in a manner incompatible with the stability of my right leg.  I suffered an open compound fracture of my tibia and fibula.  I was hospitalized Monday - Wednesday and had my first of 2 surgeries.  I go back on Tuesday for what will hopefully be repairs that start me on the road to recovery.  I will be available for any concerns or issues that Underwood Hills has in the coming weeks.  There will be no disruption in patrol coverage.  I'll be back on my feet in no time.

In the last 2-week period (Jan 25 - Feb 7), 57 incidents were reported in Beat 204.  Of those, none occurred in the area we patrol.  A summary of crimes reported in the surrounding area:
The weapons violation involved the stop of a vehicle that left the QuikTrip station, travelled to the area of Publix, and then Collier Road and back toward the QuikTrip on February 6, 2024.  Three men were arrested after drugs, guns, cash, and several fraudulent checks were recovered during the stop.

Best,
