January 7, 2021 Press Release

On January 6, 2021, at 10:42 a.m., Norfolk Police were called to the 300 block of Norfolk Avenue for a male acting strangely.  Several businesses in the 300 block of Norfolk wanted the man to receive a trespass warning so that he would not return to their businesses.  By the time officers arrived, the man had left the area.  Officers were given a description of the man.  At about 12:30 p.m., the responding officer saw a man matching the description of the suspect near 4th and Prospect.  The male verbally identified himself and officers questioned him about the downtown incident.  Eventually it was learned that man had provided a false name and that his real name was Terrell C. Starr, 42, homeless.  A check of his license showed an active Adams County warrant for his arrest.  Starr was arrested on the warrants and also arrested for false reporting for lying about him name.  He was housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
