TPD Discovers Weapons at Gene Cox Stadium, Make Arrest

The Tallahassee Police Department has released the synopsis of an investigation related to firearms found at Gene Cox Stadium.

On August 22, while patrolling the area around Gene Cox Stadium to prevent potential acts of violence, members of TPD’s Violent Crimes Response Team (VCRT) observed a group of juveniles gathered outside the gate. During this time, one male was seen brandishing a firearm and pointing it at another individual, who immediately fled. Following a brief pursuit, officers detained the group, made one arrest, and recovered the firearm nearby.

Further investigation on scene led to the discovery of a second firearm, equipped with a switch. A switch allows a handgun to fire fully automatic, meaning one pull of the trigger will cause the weapon to continue firing until empty or released. This makes them both extremely dangerous and illegal. The firearm was found close to where several individuals were detained.

A short time after the initial encounter, officers identified a vehicle of interest at a nearby gas station. After developing probable cause to search the vehicle, officers located a handgun with an extended magazine, along with a backpack containing latex gloves, a window punch, and a screwdriver.

These actions reinforce TPD’s ongoing commitment to maintaining safety during large community events. TPD reminds the public that if you see suspicious activity to call police at 850-606-5800. You can also remain anonymous by calling Crime Solvers at 850-574-TIPS.

Arrested: Jabori Williams, 17, for possession of a firearm by a delinquent, carrying a concealed firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, and resisting without violence.

  1. @PRR –

    “So do away with the law or simply stop enforcing the law is a liberals “win-win”.”

    Missing a word. Or a few.

    “Their was a time cops could shoot a fleeing a suspect that committed a felony.”

    “There was . . .”

    I cannot help but notice that you seem to have inexplicably granted the police the ability to determine someone’s guilt or not. I thought that was the job of a judge and/or a jury. Civics may not be your strongest arena.

    Yet, you remain proud. Amazing.

  2. David, liberals know without a law there is no crime. And liberals know that putting their constituents in jail makes it harder to get elected. So do away with the law or simply stop enforcing the law is a liberals “win-win”. Constituents avoid jail time and the population thinks crime is down.

    Their was a time cops could shoot a fleeing a suspect that committed a felony.
