Crime Blotter

ACCPD is investigating an Armed Robbery that occurred at the Family Dollar Store located at 415 Hawthorne Avenue. Around 8:50 p.m., January 7, a black male entered the store and requested change from a cashier. When told he had to purchase an item in order to get change, he attempted to purchase some candy. When the register opened, he reached over the counter and began to remove money from the register. The cashier attempted to stop him, at which point he brandished a knife and threatened the cashier. He is described as approximately 6’ 02”, 240-250 pounds and was wearing a white hooded jacket, with a gray liner, black shirt, gray sweatpants, black shoes and a black stocking cap. He was last seen running southbound on Hawthorne Avenue towards Broad Street. The cashier was not injured during the robbery.

ACCPD responded to the Healthy Gourmet, 1087 Baxter Street, to investigate reports of a broken front door. It was discovered the door had been broken with a concrete brick and the cash drawer had been taken. The cash drawer and some of its contents were recovered down an embankment at the rear of the business.

A Davis Estates Road residence was entered through a pried open basement window between Dec. 15, 2011 and Jan. 7, 2012. An X-Box 360 Game System, Sony Play Station, an I-Pod Touch and a Nintendo Wii Game System were stolen.

A 28-year-old woman reported that her Buckingham Terrace residence was entered through a damaged kitchen door. An X-Box Kinetic Console, 40 computer games, Dell Laptop Computer, two Sony Game Sticks and five Casio G-Shock Watches were stolen.

At around noon on Jan. 1 2012, ACCPD officers responded to a report of gunshots in the Broad Acres Housing Complex. Upon arrival, they observed an individual matching the description of the suspect, and as they approached him, he ran. After a foot chase the suspect was apprehended. Officers witnessed the suspect discard several items as he ran. Recovered was a quantity of marijuana, packaged for sale, a digital scale, and a small-caliber handgun. Tedarious Faust, 18, Parkview Homes, was arrested and charged with Use of a Firearm During the Commission of a Crime, Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Possession of Marijuana With Intent To Distribute, Drug Offense Within 1000 Feet of Public Housing, and Obstruction of Law Enforcement Officers. 

The original press release from the ACC PD contained the wrong name of the store that was robbed.
