What??? No golf cart chase? This guy hardly earns the distinction of being called a criminal. He should be ashamed of himself.
Notice to all law enforcement types: Most homes have back doors. LOL
Didn't we just read a similar story a couple weeks ago (house surrounded - except back door)...?
Next issue: The new Taser tax. :)
Good job guys!

surround: to enclose on all sides. Seriously though, glad he was caught.

Sounds like he's a terrible criminal if he's been caught...

I agree Kevinb it all depends on where you see it from.....if it was a posters home....god have mercy...but now its funny

That was a VERY sobering remark Kevin and I do apologize sincerely for my ill-timed and inappropriate quip. I say that only because I put my scotch down long enough to laugh and avoid spilling any. ;)

Call it bravado but I am pretty sure that if he 'ran into' my front door he would be looking for the back door in a big damned hurry and he would leave minus his acorns. If a guy could possibly get past my sons, who are all six foot forever, better than 230 and 0% body fat and severely protective of our humble little domicile... he would only run into a much larger and extremely PO'd squirrel.

My sole disappointment for (not in) the OPD is that their union reps have yet to lobby for approval of a taser without a safety feature limiting the duration and frequency of taser bursts. They could dub it the 'Loser Gooser' or give it a more militaristic moniker like:
'Detainee Universal Motivation and Anti Stupid Stun' gun (make up your own acronym) and apply it as a sort of re-education device for those morons who do not understand the concept of 'work-release' as opposed to... 'release.'

If a crook was given the trust and privilege of work release, then made these poor officers run a marthon to catch him, I would think they should be given the right to zap the guy into an electronic break dance for about five minutes. But then.... that's just me, the nasty ol' rodent. (P.S. Boys, THAT was a joke - get it?).
mccain - The entire world can be funny.... if you choose to see it that way. Trust me, it's cheaper than a therapist, less damaging to the liver than booze and certainly more fun than being the fiscal conscience of society.
It's life. Plain and simple. I will continue to chuckle inappropriately and enjoy the show. That's all life is..... a show to be enjoyed.

Oh yeah.... I would venture to guess that many of the law enforcement officers in this county are also former military. This may come as a shock (pun intended) to you, but they also have a tendency toward a rather refined sense of humor. A great bunch in my opinion and the fact that the guy did not look like a French frie when they brought him back is indicative of both humor and a great deal of self discipline.
Anything to add AC?
