JPD's outreach at the Bergman Hotel today was successful, including in some unexpected ways. In the approximately 45 room hotel, only 13 apartments were rented because of renovations and evictions. Of the tenants in those apartments almost all were willing to talk to JPD officers and Alaska State Troopers, who provided needed assistance and staffing.

The employment counselor saw two people. Seven people sought physical health services and six people met with mental health professionals. Some tenants sought multiple services. One mother said her son needed non-emergency medical services. A staff member of Public Health arranged for an appointment and bus tokens so the child could receive care on Monday.

While no tenant agreed to substance abuse counseling by NCADD, the staff at the Bergman asked for multiple sharps containers to try and clean up that area, asked for and received 10 Narcan kits to potentially save people overdosing with NCADD providing on the spot training to staff and officers who were still at the hotel.

The Bergman staff also wanted educational materials to encourage people to stop using substances and seek treatment. NCADD provided those. One Bergman employee, Brianna McCourt, says she is in recovery for a second time and has been clean and sober since July 22, 2016. McCourt says she worked her guardian angels overtime during her addiction and wants to save people who are overdosing and support them in getting off drugs. JPD would like to send out a big "Way To Go" to Brianna.

Michael Hutcherson of Job Service provided employment services from JPD's Mobil Incident Command Post. April Rezendes of Public Health worked with Doug Harris of JAHMI to provide services. JPD would like to thank Holy Trinity Church for providing meeting rooms at no cost. Chelsi Butler of NCADD provides training and supplies to Brianna McCourt, an employee of the Bergman Hotel.

The home owner handled it like he should have up to the point of "bye". He told the cop to go get a warrant and the cop was leaving and then he felt the need to follow the cop outside and continue to berate him. I don't know if he thought he could just run his mouth and not get a response, or if he was trying to get that reaction but this is what caused things to go south. It would have never happened had the homeowner just saw them off the property and not tried poking at the cop.

With a little internet sleuthing and a few tips from locals, we were able to connect the dots between Wood’s brother’s Facebook page to his mother’s Facebook page where she had pictures posted of her sons despite the fact that department refused to release his name. But we sat on that information for a day because we wanted to give the Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress a chance to confirm his detective’s name over a telephone conversation, which he had refused to do since a video of the incident went viral last week. Surprisingly, he did just that.
