ADDRESS DID IMPACT HIS
BAIL.
28-YEAR-OLD CASIMIR DYNAK -

SURETY BAIL - WHICH MEANS

WOULD SHOOT HIM.
BROWN ALLEGEDLY DIDN'T
TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY - BUT
WHEN THE MAN STARTED
REACHING INTO HIS BACKPACK
- THE PASTOR GOT OUT OF THE
VEHICLE - FEARING FOR HIS
LIFE.
THAT'S WHEN POLICE SAY THE
SUSPECT TOOK OFF.
EYEWITNESS NEWS SPOKE OFF
CAMERA WITH THE MAN WHO
SAID HE SAW THE PASTOR IN
DISTRESS - AND CHASED DOWN
THE SUSPECT IN THE STOLEN
VEHICLE.
"The vehicle proceeded to travel
northbound on Wellington Avenue
and as it approached the
intersection of Park Avenue and
Wellington Avenue, our officers
were able to stop it and took
the
suspect down at gunpoint, taking
the suspect into custody without
further incident."
CRANSTON POLICE LATER
IDENTIFIED THAT SUSPECT AS
CASIMIR DYNAK - SAYING
DESPITE HIS THREATS - DYNAK
DID NOT HAVE A WEAPON ON
HIM.
NO PLEA WAS ENTERED ON
DYNAK'S BEHALF AT HIS
