so I can be sure I'm not taking up your time
unnecessarily. First, did was this case investigated
end with an arrest by your agency? (Or was there
a juvenile court case?)

issued)? (Or did the juvenile court case start?)

through a cell phone, or did the suspect use
technology to commit the crime? (We also include
use of other electronic technology such as digital
cameras and live streaming video.)
