Jackson Police Department Pct. 4 Corporal Fred Johnson was recognized by The Rotary Club of North Jackson as the Officer of the Quarter at the Club’s November 6, 2018, meeting. Corporal Johnson was recognized for his community awareness and his perseverance in capturing a suspect of an armed robbery of a Northeast Jackson business. Corporal Johnson received a call from the manager of a business. The manager said that his store was in the process of being robbed. Corporal Johnson had given the manager his telephone no. earlier and told him to call if he had an incident. This was the exact type of incident that Corporal Johnson was talking about. On receiving the call, Corporal Johnson went directly to the store. The robber was still on the premises. He fled and Officer Johnson pursued. By the time Corporal Johnson caught him, the suspect had discarded a red hoodie that he had been wearing and his weapon. Retracing the steps, both were located and the suspect was arrested. Congratulations Corporal Johnson!
