On Saturday January 3, Sergeant John “Chet” Turner with the Apalachicola Police Department investigated a complaint of assault on a local individual by an unknown couple. An eyewitness reported that an African-American male along with a Hispanic female pulled a weapon on an individual and threatened his life.After obtaining a statement from the eyewitness and retrieving the evidence, Sergeant Turner located and arrested both suspects and charged them with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. After the arrest, Turner learned that the suspects were members of a South Florida gang, both of which are now in custody at the Franklin County Jail awaiting trial.
Tuner began his career in law enforcement with the City of Apalachicola on October 14, 2005, since then he has made several key arrests after conducting thorough investigations.
Because of his commitment toward the call of duty, at the January 6 city commission meeting, I read the attached letter into the public record and instructed a copy be placed in Turner’s personnel file.
Attachment: Letter of Commendation
