Following a Phillies game against the Atlanta Braves May 3, a man ran down another male in the Citizens Bank Park parking lot.
An argument broke out between the two at about 10:20 p.m., then one of them intentionally struck the other with his vehicle in the lot at 1020 Pattison Ave., Officer Beth Skala of the Police Public Affairs Unit said.
The driver sped off only to be nabbed a few blocks away on the 1400 block of Zinkoff Boulevard in the stadium complex, the officer said.
Jason Windwehr, 18, from Warminster, was charged with aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, possession of an instrument of crime and related offenses.
The 21-year-old victim went to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital with a broken leg.
Suspect flees across bridge
A New Jersey man who allegedly tried to run over two Philadelphia Housing Authority police officers during a traffic stop was apprehended in New Jersey after a chase across the bridge.
The officers attempted to pull over the man on the 2500 block of Passyunk Avenue after he ran a red light Saturday at about 5:40 p.m., police said.
When the officers got out of their marked vehicle, the man drove his truck toward them, a high-ranking police source told the Review.
The officers pursued the vehicle west on Passyunk to Island Avenue, then over the Platt Bridge where 17th District officers were called to aid in the pursuit as the man drove east on I-76 and over the Walt Whitman Bridge. On that bridge, the man allegedly attempted to ram into a 17th District cruiser. The PHA and Philly officers finally stopped the driver in Oaklyn, N.J., where he refused to exit his car and began struggling with police, the source said. Officers recovered a loaded .357 magnum revolver in the man’s waistband.
Francis M. Campo, 46, from Turnersville, was returned to Philadelphia, where he was charged with four counts of aggravated and simple assault and related offenses.
Argument leads to shooting
A gunman who shot a teen with an assault rifle May 3 on the 2700 block of Wolf Street is still on the loose.
At about 8:30 p.m., an argument triggered the violence that sent the 19-year-old to Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition, Detective Thorsten Lucke of South Detective Division said.
The shooter went to his car and retrieved the weapon before unloading several shots at the teen, Detective Joe Chiaro of South Detectives said.
After bullets flew, the perpetrator fled inside a residence on the 2700 block of Wolf Street. Investigators served a search warrant at that location, but, instead of finding the suspect, discovered a small quantity of marijuana, Chiaro said.
The suspect’s black Lincoln sedan, from which he retrieved the gun, was towed as part of the investigation, but the firearm was not recovered.
Investigators recovered five spent cartridges outside, where the shooting occurred.
To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.
Wife arrested in stabbing
A 51-year-old man was in critical condition at HUP with two stab wounds to his chest after his wife allegedly knifed him during an argument.
Loretta Williams, 44, from the 2500 block of Grays Ferry Avenue, was charged with aggravated and simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of an instrument of crime.
Williams allegedly reached for a knife and lunged at her husband during the 6 p.m. feud last Thursday, Detective Joe Chiaro of South Detectives said.
One charged following raid
Narcotics officers confiscated thousands of dollars in drugs and cash, as well as a loaded handgun, when they raided a home April 26 on the 1800 block of Gerrit Street.
Seized during the 5:15 p.m. bust were $3,050 in marijuana; $890 in Xanax pills; $2,278 in cash; and a 357-caliber Smith & Wesson firearm loaded with six live rounds, Narcotics Cpl. Anthony Piluso said.
Lalitae Dickson, 34, from the block where the bust occurred, was charged with criminal conspiracy, manufacture and delivery, possession, possession of paraphernalia and possession of an instrument of crime.
The raid was not the result of information phoned into the Gun Recovery and Reward Information Program (GRRIP) hotline, but to report illegal guns or drugs, call the 24-hour hotline at 215-683-GUNS. Callers can remain anonymous. The Citizens Crime Commission provides cash rewards up to $1,000 for information leading to an illegal firearm and subsequent arrest.
