Columbus Police Sergeant
Kevin Bayless
On November 26, 2007 during the early
afternoon, a Credit Union on North High St was robbed.  A suspect and
suspect vehicle description was aired.  Sergeant Kevin Bayless
observed the vehicle on Henderson Rd approaching Olentangy River Road and
attempted to stop the vehicle.  The suspect did notstop and a
vehicular pursuit ensued.  The pursuit went through several counties
in the driving rain.  Sergeant Bayless as safely as possible
continued pursuing this armed robbery suspect even when his radio
lostcontact.  Along with several other officers, they were able
to finally capture the suspect in Licking County.  They were forced
to deploy a Taser to subdue the resistive suspect.  Due to the high
degree of personalinitiative during a tense situation, which was
aggravated by the rain, Sergeant Bayless was able to bring this suspect to
justice.  We are proud to name Columbus Police Sergeant Kevin Bayless
our "Officer of the Week".
