Full Notification

The Arlington Police Department responded to an unrelated domestic disturbance at a residence when patrol officers noticed activity that led them to notify our narcotics unit. One of our narcotic’s detectives recognized a vehicle that was similar in nature to the one that was used in a recent homicide based upon a bulletin that had been distributed to employees. While the vehicle ended up being a different car, an interview with the suspect in the narcotics investigation led homicide detectives to the identification and arrest of 46-year-old Pervis Lee Andrews Jr. of Arlington for the fatal stabbing of Dustin McGee on November 8, 2015. Andrews remains in the Arlington Jail on one count of murder with bond initially set at $500,000.

“This is the culmination of excellent police work where observant officers and detectives connected the dots and conducted a thorough investigation in order to remove this dangerous suspect from our streets,” said Police Chief Will Johnson.
