On July 8th 2005 Police Officer Wayne Heller was assigned to the Eighth Precinct working a night tour of duty. At approximately 2000 hours he received a radio assignment for a stolen car report in Hicksville. Upon his arrival at scene he was informed by the complainant that she was having problems with her daughter regarding her use of the family car.

Officer Heller successfully disarmed the daughter without injury to any persons involved.
