An officer joined the St. Petersburg Police Department in 1985 and spent most of his career working the midnight shift in the Patrol Division. To those who knew him, he was a compassionate officer, a devoted husband, and a proud father. But on the night of February 21st, 2011, during one of those routine shifts, everything changed. At around 10:30 p.m., he responded to a 911 call reporting a suspicious person near 3rd Avenue South. The caller described a young man walking through a backyard with a brick in his hand — a slender teenager, approximately 5'9" to 5'11", wearing a dark hoodie and shorts. By 10:37 p.m., the officer spotted someone matching that description and stepped out of his cruiser to approach him. #interrogationpsychology #interrogation
