(December 11, 2008)—Officers responding to a report of a man brandishing a semiautomatic pistol on a Waco street corner Thursday afternoon led to an arrest and the recovery of marijuana and crack cocaine.
Officers made the arrest at the intersection of Faulkner and Hood Thursday afternoon after a brief search of the area from the air and the ground.
A search of the suspect’s car produced the drugs.
Officers were still searching for the gun Thursday afternoon, assisted by a helicopter pilot who was surveying the area from the air, checking roofs for the firearm.
No one was injured.

Remember,"An armed society is a more polite society". Remember," When we outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns". Think, everytime a crime is committed with a firearm how many existing gun laws were broken in order to commit the crime, and those laws helped nothing because outlaws do not abide by the laws. More laws will only affect law abiding gun owners not the criminals. WAKE UP !!!

tell me why the media can withhold serious information like names of those that are arrested for crimes that seem to make your news casting so interesting,But then exploit names of others,why is this so discreet if it made the news everyone nvolved should be named since you are making it news,now does that paragon have a name and why was'nt it published is this a conspiracy or what,a few months back there was a drug arrest and several were arrested but only one individual was named now what happen to the others and who is this,person of interest.And as far as East Waco being named as the Thug section of town is totally ludacris, All city have areas that or suppressed,oppressed, depressed, neglected and poverty stricken but there are taxpayers and law abiding citizens in East waco just as West Waco but the city revenues or not being allocated in that area as it should.And there are Thugs in the West Waco part of town as well.And certainly Gangs exist in West Waco,Thats where most from

Well, the truth of the matter is ,(player of the year), City of Waco does not include prosperity with any side of town, unless Baylor is able to be the direct beneficiary ! If the Chamber of Commerce would alow for outside developers to give inner city youths ( wanna be thugs with out a cause)an out-let ,things would began to look up ! With all the money that Margaret Mills was STEALING, I know it could have been put to better use !! You and I both know that getting a job would be the right thing to do, but with overly populated temp-agencies that you have to go through makes it discouraging, and Commerce has to know that, just dont give a damn !"We got ours ,you go and get yours " seems to be their attitudes !
