I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

Last night, there was an armed robbery at the Midget Market and with the help of technology and excellent police work; we made an arrest five hours later.
Just before 7:00 p.m. the suspect set a bottle of wine on the counter and pulled out a revolver while demanding cash.  He left the wine bottle and sunglasses at the scene. 
Oops.
CSI lifted prints, scanned them into our local database and came up with an instant hit.  Patrol Officers quickly hunted down the suspect and made the arrest while gathering further evidence at the suspect’s residence.  - Excellent teamwork between CSI, Patrol, and Detectives.
Just in case you’re wondering, the photo above shows Detective Josh Deede giving our CSI tech Krissy Gittins the “Detective of the Month” trophy (a refurbished 2nd place women’s softball trophy).  As my old undercover partner used to say, “If we can’t have fun, we won’t play.”
