Two men with lengthy arrest histories are behind bars on drug and gun charges as the result of proactive policing by Hermitage Precinct Officer Jacob Pilarski.
Emmett Harvell, 34, of Ridgeside Drive, and Bardell Joseph, 34, of Torbay Drive, are charged with marijuana for resale and violating the newly enacted Crooks with Guns law, which provides mandatory consecutive prison sentences.
Officer Pilarski intervened in a fight at University Court and Carroll Street. Joseph fled the scene in a Lincoln Navigator driven by Harvell. Officer Pilarski broadcast the SUV’s description.
Officer Michael Thomas spotted the Navigator a short time later entering I-40. He activated his emergency equipment. Before Harvell stopped his Navigator, baggies containing marijuana and a loaded handgun were thrown from the SUV. Both men were taken into custody without incident.
Harvell is being held in lieu of $80,000 bond and Joseph is being held in lieu of $77,000 bond.
