About 1:30 a.m., my partner and I are "shooting the bull" with another deputy at the scene of an accident. The driver was arrested for DUI and we are just keeping him company until the tow truck arrives.
All of a sudden we hear brakes lock up causing the tires to squeal. We look up to see a vehicle turning around. We catch up to the vehicle, gather even more PC and activate lights. Well, he chose not to stop. The chase lasted about 4-5 minutes. When the suspect noticed the lights of another patrol car at the intersection in front of him, he decided to bail on foot.
I was almost out of the car before it came to a complete stop. I caught up to him and tried to use his momentum and just push him down. Well that didn't work as well as I had hoped, so I swept his leg and we went to the ground. I was o.k. until my partner, weighing in at 300+ lbs., landed on top of both of us.
After we placed the handcuffs on him, I started patting him down. I then found a bag of marijauna and crack in his right sock.
He has multiple charges, which will include 2 felonies. The best part of it all was that my supervisor didn't want me to write the report. All I had to do was type up a supplement and I was done. :cool:
This is how my face has been all day. ---> :D
Kudos to my partner who did a HECK of a job driving and staying very cool under pressure.
MAN I LOVE THIS JOB!!!

Good job!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just picked up a copy of our weekly paper. (We have two, one daily and one weekly.) My picture was in it along with my partner. I have been talking about it all day. One of my girls said, "You're telling that story AGAIN? I just said, "Shut up and let me bask in the very small amount of glory I get."

Awesome! Good job on catching the guy! I still grin ear to ear when I think of my first pursuit. :D
In life's small things be resolute and great

Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee,

Well done! I love that shi....stuff. :D

If you rob a gas station, you're only going to get about $100, but I get to see a K9 dog use your arm as a chew toy. For all I care you can keep the $100.

x 2. When people start talking about foot pursuits, I think of my first one and just get a smirk across my face. The adrenaline was amazing. Originally Posted by MORA Ranger
