Rentschler, began chatting online with Lescowitch about the post.Over the course of half an hour, the officer was able to gather key information about Lescowitch and eventually arranged to meet up with him for a cigarette.When the suspect arrived at the specified location, he was met by the police and arrested.Lescowitch was one of four men charged over the assault of a man last summer, according to Standardspeaker.com.He was wanted for hitting the victim on the head before the man was robbed whilst incapacitated.(metro.co.uk)ANN.Az
