E Southern Ave, Tempe, AZ 85282

Officers responded to a report of a suspicious person seen on a door camera. The caller reported a man wearing a varsity jacket at the door and later provided a photo from the camera. Officers checked the area, obtained more details about his clothing, and saw someone who matched the description walking along University Drive, near local businesses. They kept him in sight, then contacted and detained him to compare his appearance with the camera image. The caller had only seen the person on the camera, so officers relied on the photo to verify whether they had the right individual.
