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.”
