Bradley Grant Cooper, 39, and Anne Kathleen Crooks, 46, both residents of the apartment, are now facing a number of firearms related charges in relation to the recovered handgun and rifle. More charges are expected as the investigation continues.
“This is a great example of this department being responsive to the needs of the community,” said Deputy Chief Laurin Stenerson. “When this residence came to our attention, it became one of the top priorities of our Street Crime Unit – both to stop the criminal behavior that was occurring there and ensure the safety of the citizens in the area.”
