ON A ROLL

Warren Simpson
 
 
 
I am not sure if I should be commending the Hartford Shooting Task Force and HPD for a job well done, or be more terrified of what is coming off our streets on a daily basis. For the last several days, after last weeks run of shootings and violence, it seems that the full court press has been put on to reduce violence in Hartford.

Although the STF has been out in the community, it seems like everyday now they are making some major hits in seizing guns, drugs and even large amounts of cash. For anyone that thinks that cutting police hours on the streets is a good idea  , take a look at the firearms being taken out of our neighborhoods, and reconsider that...please.

After last weeks homicide on Evergreen Avenue, Hartford's STF produced the results of an ongoing investigation into firearms in the area. A search warrant was prepared for 33 Gray Street as a result of the investigation. Today the Hartford Police Emergency Response Team (ERT)and members of the STF entered the building to serve the warrant.

Upon entering the apartment ERT located wanted felon Warren Simpson was located in the apartment. Simpson was wanted in connection with a shooting  that occurred on December 3, 2012 on Ashley Street in Hartford. The victim of the shooting was struck at least three times in the upper thighs Simpson has been eluding capture capture since the warrant was issued in March 2013.

 The search of Simpson's apartment uncovered : one Smith and Wesson 357 Magnum loaded with 6 .357 Magnum hollow point bullets,40 .357 caliber rounds, $5785.00 dollars in cash,
 120.4 grams of crack cocaine, scales and other equipment  indicative of a drug factory were also found.

Simpson is being held on bonds totaling $1,250,00.00

Simpson is a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history

  1. I bet you hell be back on the streets in a few days. The good ole court system and the lack of cooperation from the "so called victim" will allow this parasite to roam free once more to terrorize the neighborhoods of Hartford.

  2. When is the pj madness going to end. This dept ot/ pj system has become a second coming of a manopoly game. When did doing the job get so null and void that money is the only thing that matters? Not all, but some still have a scrap of pride to police the streets. Enough about the task force. They handle the heavy hitter gun zeros. I much rather see a dangerous thug off the streets then have car 29 filled on ot by a ripe veteran that can sit in the motel and watch sportscenter in between the nonsense calls from city residents that cant seem to follow simple rules of basic humanity .
