• Demetris D. Wade, 19, of the 300 block of North Bradley, was arrested Aug. 13 for theft by receiving. What began as an investigation into a stolen cellphone led to the recovery of a handgun that was reported stolen out of Louisiana, according to a policereport. On Aug. 12, a woman reported the theft of her cellphone, which was issued by her employer. She initially identified Wade as a potential suspect, saying that a remote location tracking application had traced the phone to his residence. The following day, the woman said the tracking app sourced the phone to a vehicle at Dairy Queen, 2201 N. West Ave. The woman said Wade was inside the vehicle and she confronted him, telling officers she knew Wade. She said Wade denied taking the phone and left. The woman said the tracking app then led her to Wade’s residence, where she confronted him a second time. Wade said he purchased the phone “from some guy he knew” and left the residence, the woman told officers. She said she then called 911 and officers said the tracking app “pinged” to a residence in the 1100 block of North Highland. The complainant noted that Wade’s sister lived at the residence. Police said when they arrived, a male who had just walked inside the residence told them that Wade was not there. Officers said they asked to speak with the homeowner, the male stepped inside to get the homeowner and then left, saying, “She (sic) coming. He ain’t in there, though, but I’m getting out of here.” Police spoke with Wade’s sister, who also said Wade was notat the residence. They said the woman consented to a search of the residence and while looking for the cellphone, they found Wade inside a closet. When asked why he was hiding, Wade said, “I was told y’all was coming.” He then told officers he did not have the phone. Police saidthey saw what appeared to be the grip of a handgun protruding from underneath a pillow on a shelf just above Wade’s head. Police said they learned the gun had been reported stolen out of Arcadia, Louisiana, and they seized the gun. Wade told officers the gun did not belong to him and Wade’s sister said the gun belonged to her. She was briefly detained and released, police said. Wade was taken into custody for theft by receiving. Police did not locate the cellphone.
