It's been a fun/busy coupla nights at my place
Started on Friday evening. My wife and I were watching a movie when we see lights shining in our basement windows. It's not really possible for car headlights to shine in through them due to the fence we had erected about a year ago now. I grab my pistol and check it out. Turns out there was a helicopter search light lighting up mine and my neighbors yards. Head upstairs and I see a whole fleet of squad cars out there. Sheriff officers and city police both are out there in full force.
The helicopter circled and spot lighted the area for about half an hour.
About an hour later, without any to-do, they all disperse except for one city cop car and he's parked right in front of my house.
Turns out my neighbor who is a city police officer had made an arrest, the guy was let out, and he made some death threats re: the arresting officer and everyone involved in the case. And my neighbor was 99% sure he showed up at his place Friday night. Apparently, the perp figured out where he lived.
So, the city police ended up parking a patrol car outside his house for couple days.
I like my neighbor a lot. He's a really good guy. If he made an arrest, odds are near 100% he handled it properly, by the book, etc. (every one has a bad day so I can't discount that possibility). He's also huge. The guy is probably 6'5" and 300lbs of solid muscle. He's not someone you want to mess around with.
Anyway, I appreciated the officers being there for him. I offered up use of my bathroom, and brought out a jug of ice water during the heat of the day and a mug of coffee for the late shift.
Sure hope they catch that guy.

That sounds pretty wild alright. I hope they scoop that goblin up soon. 0 -
Be careful for a while. 0 -
Good job offering up your bathroom and takin' refreshments to the officers, Randy. Hopefully they find and detain (or ventilate!) the bad guy soon. 0 -
Sounds like our "Catch & Release" system for scumbags can sometimes turn around and bite us!
Having that kind of drama in the neighborhood would definitely keep you awake all the while it was going on!0 -
WTG, Randy! 0 -
Well,if no one knew where he lived before,they sure do now. Great to protect and cover each other but sounds a little over done.
A scene from 'Lethal Weapon' comes to mind.0 -
And you missed 60 Minutes re-run. Damn shame. Keep up the good work! 0 -
