Grant Lets Cops Get Robot, Forensic Light, Video System
Night vision goggles, a mini robot and new video system are just some of the things local law enforcement officers will be getting soon.
The new equipment is made possible by a federal grant of about $183,000 for Potter County and the City of Amarillo to split....

DNA Evidence Could Link Montgomery To Officers’ Murders
Within hours of the time Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers Sean Clark and Jeff Shelton were shot in 2007, police had arrested their prime suspect, Demeatrius Montgomery.
Now, after what his attorneys describe as an intense 19-hour session with police and three-plus years with his lawyers, they said Montgomery has not uttered one word about the case. Attorneys are using that silence as the basis for their third request to have his mental capacity evaluated.
