Officers responded to the area and located a subject matching the description. Officers attempted to stop the subject. The subject fled and was caught a short distance away. Victim 2 was transported to the scene and made a positive identification. The suspect, a 23-year-old male, was transported to headquarters, where he is being held pending further investigation.

Readers are reminded that an arrest or charge does not constitute a finding of guilt. Only a court of law can make that determination. For more police blotter news, read tomorrow's print edition of the Belleville News-Democrat and return to bnd.com.
