Kent Police Cmdr. Eric Hemmen and Assistant Police Chief Pat Lowery received the Washington\u2019s Most Wanted <\/a>April Officer of the Month Award.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The two received the award on behalf of the Kent Special Investigations Unit for their work April 4 in capturing fugitive Harold Murphy, wanted by the state Department of Corrections on a warrant after convictions for theft and promoting prostitution.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Washington’s Most Wanted featured Murphy in June. A tip from a viewer to Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound<\/a> led Kent Police to the Benchwarmer Sports Bar and Grill on Russell Road where Murphy was scheduled to rap that night, according to the Most Wanted website.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When Murphy rolled up in a convertible Mercedes with three other men in the car, officers were waiting to arrest him. Murphy was the 394th capture through Washington’s Most Wanted.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In a related note, to celebrate Washington’s Most Wanted 400th capture, show host David Rose and contributor Parella Lewis will be at Kent Station from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27 to meet and greet viewers. Several Kent Police officers also will stop by the booth in the center plaza next to the fountain stage.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
