Wednesday morning feel good story
Today’s feel good story comes from New Jersey, thanks to Chief Tango;
After finishing his shift at 3 a.m., Delanco Township Police Officer Basil Warren returned to his Stevenson Avenue home in Edgewater Park, Burlington County to find a man trying to steal his personal vehicle, according to investigators.
As Warren — still in full uniform — approached his truck, the suspect, identified as 26-year-old Tysean Fitzpatrick, threw the vehicle into reverse and tried to back over him, according to Peter Alfinito, Burlington County Fraternal Order of Police president.
The Delanco officer “fired in self defense,” hitting the Fitzpatrick twice in the back, Alfinito said. When responding officers arrived at the scene, Warren was administering first aid to the injured suspect, according to officials.
The next story comes from Pennsylvania where an accomplice in a burglary is facing murder charges because his buddy was killed by a victim;
State police Sgt. Steve Driscoll says Anthony Welsh, of New Castle, is responsible for 20-year-old Mariek Payne’s death because Payne was killed — though not by Welsh — during the commission of a felony.
Police say Welsh and Payne broke into a Union Township home on Friday, and that Payne was shot by a person who lived there as Payne and Welsh fled.

New Jersey – it’s a good thing that the guy with the gun was a cop. If he’d be Joe Citizen, he’d be spending the night in the cell next to the car thief.
That’s no joke! Family and friends should be lining up any moment now to tell us about Tysean Fitzpatrick: “He he wuz jus’ git’n he life too gatha, workin hard ta takes guud cara he baby an, an he baby momma.
