SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Police in Woodburn say they have caught one of their most wanted suspects after a resident identified the man on the police department’s new mobile app.
Wilfrido Manriguez-Dominguez was arrested Tuesday and is being held on identity theft charges. He’s scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
City of Woodburn spokesman Jason Horton says police had showed a resident the new app on Monday when the resident identified the suspect and told police he frequents a 7-Eleven. The resident then called police Tuesday and reported that the suspect was at the store, where police came and arrested him.
The Woodburn Police Department’s new app allows users to receive emergency alerts, send anonymous crime tips and report suspicious activity.
Officials say police have already received several tips through the app.
