Merit Award City of Port Wentworth
I received a Merit Award from the city of Port Wentworth in 2021 for an arrest I made in a park where the individual was observed in the park after hours and had marijuana, magazines and ammo, small plastic bags, and tools for breaking and entering. I was able to use that same information from my case and assist a county in South Carolina in getting the information they needed for their murder suspect.
