Here it is!!! Our very first post from our home. We took the plunge and signed on to Verizon for DSL service.
On Thursday night I got a call for an unwanted person at an apartment. Turns out the guy absconded from his probation and now has a felony warrant out for his arrest. Upon arriving, the guy had already left. So we searched the area for him and find him walking down the road a block away. Well Johnny Felon decides to run from the cops, so I accelerate past him to cut him off. He doubles back, so I jump out of my car to give chase just as the K9 car pulls up. He initially ran from the K9 deputy. I run right past the K9 car, just as the handler opens the back door, releases the dog and gives his commands. Dog sees a fleeing person, gives chase, and goes for the bite...on me. I stopped, threw my arms up (I have two nice arms and want to keep them that way), and yell the dogs name and tell him to stop. The dog hits on my vest, then tries again on the vest. By this time the handler has got a hold of him and called him off. No blood drawn, but I almost soiled myself.
Lesson learned. Never run faster than the dog or run between the dog and the bad guy. I got lucky and just got away with a torn shirt.
With all the melee the guy got away and we got called off trying to track him with the dog. However, the very next day, his girlfriend calls us and says he's back at the apartment. We show up (on Friday night) and knock on the door. He won't answer for half an hour, so the door gets booted. He walks out form the back, gives up, and goes to jail. The good guys always win. At the jail I saw he was wearing some beat up old Air Jordan's. I asked him if they helped him run the night before, but he had no idea what I was talking about.
