Richmond
Police Department detectives pride themselves on making quick arrests in
investigations. But while it sometimes may take weeks or months – or longer –
to close a case, Department detectives never cease chasing every investigative
lead available.
Six
years after a sexual assault and two years after an aggravated assault in
Richmond, Richmond Police Department detectives, with assistance from the U.S.
Marshals’ Fugitive Task Force, have made two arrests in New York recently.
William
D. Frazier, 26, formerly of the 1100 block of St. John Street, Richmond, was charged with
forcible sodomy for an incident with a juvenile female that occurred in the
Gilpin Court neighborhood on August 15, 2012.
Vaughn
C. Jones, 27, formerly of the 3400 block of Wellington Street, Richmond, was charged with
felonious assault for an incident that occurred in the 500 block of Milton
Street on July 23, 2016.

Major
Crimes detectives were able to identify suspects in these cases but only
recently were able to develop locations of the suspects, which was New York
City.
“We
want to thank the U.S. Marshals for their invaluable assistance in making these
arrests,” Major Crimes Lieutenant Faith Flippo said. “These arrests are great
examples of our detectives’ relentless pursuit of individuals suspected of
crime. Detectives will never stop investigating even if it takes weeks or
months…or even years.”
