Nothing can happen there & especially w/ the Preacher there.
Yea right.
Mowed the Prairie Chapel Mission Church yard this morning. That takes 2 of us about 2.5 hrs.
I then went to Jubilee, our Home Church. I got out of my truck & one of the Diboll PD Officers pulled in the parking lot. Not unusual,They & the Counstable are pretty regular & we visit a lot.
PD - You gonna be here a while.
Me - Yes sir. Take about 3.5 hrs to do this one since the ditch is wet from the rain.
PD - Just tried to serve a felony warent & he jumped out of a window & ran off. Could not catch him. He ran across the church lot by the woods line. If you see him give us a call please. He wont show up if I stay around in the patrol car. He gives me a discription.
Me - Yes sir. I get the # & program it in my cell so I dont have to use 911. I go to work getting a few low hanging branches cut off that were in the way last time.
About 15 minutes & the suspect runs back across at the same place. I am about 15 feet from him & speak. Hey, how you doin young man. Fine & kept running. Called them & here come 2 cruisers, the counstable, an unmarked pickup, (probably personal vehicle) & a personal SUV. Counstable & 2 guys in the unmarked personals flush him out & the chase is on. He jumps a fence right across the street from the church, back over it into the front yard & the 2 there are after him. All 3 LEOs & the suspect are really getting tired. From flush until now has been about 3-4 minutes. All are running all the time. Suspect hits the street & the Counstable has come around the fence & makes first contact. They take him down in the street at the corner of our church property.
There are no "GOOD" neighborhoods any more.
If I had been guessing this morning when I left the house I would have never guessed today. Thus my signature.
Will watch the Police Report in the paper for the next few days.
