CW series ‘Police 24/7’ features Kent indecent exposure case

It was a brief television debut for the Kent Police Department on The CW Network series “Police 24/7.”

Kent’s debut on the third episode of the second-year series featured one incident, an indecent exposure report.

Kent Police announced in January it would be part of the series this season after CW camera crews spent a couple of months in 2024 riding along with officers to capture their day-to-day engagement with the community. Xfinity/Comcast carries the show on channel 112 at 8 p.m. Thursdays. Past episodes can be seen by going to cwtv.com/shows/police-24-7/.

During the Feb. 6 show, a Kent officer responded to a daytime call along West Meeker Street, near the Madison Plaza Apartments, according to a viewing of the series. A man was shirtless and had a bra tied around his waist. He had pants on but reportedly had them down earlier causing the call to police.

The initial officer on the call explained to viewers that if you approach someone in an incident like this with kindness and patience they usually are cool to talk to you and will reveal things.

Another officer showed up to take the man’s fingerprints with a mobile unit to see if he had any warrants.

Officers told the man to keep his pants on while walking around town. They also found out he had a state Department of Corrections warrant for third-degree assault.

The man claimed his name was Quicksilver, although the warrant showed his name as Anthony. The man said that might have been his name in the past, but he was now Quicksilver. At one point, the man stared blankly into the camera before officers got him to chat again.

Because of the warrant, officers took the man into custody.

Cases on the third episode from other law enforcement agencies included:

• Wilmington Police in North Carolina responded to a report of a raccoon in a residence, but it turned out to be a possum that the officer removed.

• Putnam County Sheriff’s Office in Florida responded to a boater lost in a swamp. They found him and as the boat was brought back to dock, the man, who had been reported as missing, fell out of the boat, obviously intoxicated. No arrest was made.

• Tallahassee Police in Florida assisted in pursuit of a motorcycle going as fast as 136 mph while fleeing a highway patrol officer. Police stopped pursuit because of high speeds, but the motorcyclist circled back at a slower speed and an officer pulled him over without incident. Officers arrested the man for reckless driving and eluding an officer. The man told police he had an emotional and tough day.

Future episodes featuring Kent Police are scheduled for Feb. 27, March 6, March 13, March 20 and March 27, according to police.
