On February 21, SLTPD went to an apartment on Spruce Avenue to conduct a probation/parole search. Police arrested three men on varying charges. Officers found and collected "multiple powdery substances." Officers identified as controlled substances and lab testing is pending on those substances collected, according to SLTPD Lt.

Earlier in the day, a woman was warming up her car and left it idling in her driveway. Within two minutes of noticing it was missing, the woman's boyfriend left in another vehicle and found the stolen one being driven in the area. He called SLTPD as he was following the stolen car. The suspect then stopped the car and took off on foot with the boyfriend in pursuit. He chased the suspect, 40-year-old Michael Jordan, and tackled him as police arrived.
