Manhunt
My daughter, granddaughter and I were driving
home in Union County. Several police cars passed us as we approached
Hwy. 218. We tried to head straight across, but before we could
turn there were police everywhere running towards the woods and
the road. Suddenly, a police officer jumped in our car, shoved
my daughter over on me and spun the car around. We were going fast.
I said, “Slow down, there is a curve
and a bridge!”
He said, “Calm down, lady. I have everything
under control.”
Just as we passed the bridge, gun shots came
from the left. He stopped the car, grabbed his pistol, thanked
us and ran to the left. We were in the middle of the road.
My daughter
said, “Which way?”
I said, “I don’t know,
but let’s get out of Dodge!”
They captured a boy on
a bicycle who had robbed a house. We were talking about the situation,
and my granddaughter who was very calm in the back seat spoke up: “Oh
this was an adventure, great for show and tell.”
