The reasoning behind it is if they were answering calls or patrolling neighborhoods instead then they would be able to stop crime. I have been thinking about it, and my belief is that Lubbock traffic police help to stop crimes before they start.
The LPD is investigating a green van the woman says followed her from a gas station to her hotel, and continued to follow her through multiple neighborhoods.
Lubbock police were able to track down the stolen vehicle, but when officers tried to pull the suspect over, they led officers on a car chase on Loop 289.
According to the LPD, the man wanted for Jones’ murder, 57-year-old Winston Lee Caraway, is the man who also called police to report the location of her body.
