On Nov. 7, at approximately 9:33 p.m., Steele Creek Division and Southwest Service Area Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) officers responded to the 400 block of Tyvola Road in reference to a suspicious person call for service. The reporting person stated they observed two males dressed in all black, wearing black ski masks who appeared to have handguns walking eastbound on Tyvola Road towards the McDonalds. Officers detained the two subjects and completed a weapons frisk, locating a Glock 17 handgun on each subject. One subject refused to provide identification to officers. Upon further investigation, officers matched the subject’s electronic monitoring device to known offender Dai'Quan Mills, 18, who had been arrested less than three weeks earlier for possession of a stolen firearm. Devire Lavelle Davis, 19, and Dai'Quan Mills were arrested and charged with: · Carrying A Concealed Gun · Resist, Delay, Obstruct This case highlights not only outstanding police work, but also the critical role of the See Something, Say Something principle. Thanks to a community member’s report of a suspicious individual, officers were able to intervene and potentially prevent criminal activity by known repeat offenders.
