Warrant Arrest Leads to Drugs and Stolen Firearm Recovery
On 12-23-21 at about 6:00pm, officers from the Janesville Police Department were in the 200 block of Madison Street investigating a separate incident. An officer observed a male whom he knew as Curtis Walker, exit a residence in the neighborhood. The officer knew Curtis Walker had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
As officers attempted to take Curtis into custody, he tried fleeing from officers. Officers later decentralized Curtis to the ground in an attempt to place him into handcuffs behind his back. Once Curtis was stabilized and handcuffed on the ground, officers located a firearm concealed in his waistband. The firearm was later confirmed stolen from the Rock County area.
Curtis is currently a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing any firearms. Curtis is currently on extended supervision for Armed Robbery.
During the investigation, officers also seized quantities of cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy tablets and U.S. Currency. Curtis was later processed at the Janesville Police Department for the charges listed and was later transported to the Rock County Jail pending his initial court appearance.
