Not sure where to put this, so here it is.
I've mentioned that I work in a not so great part of town, generally from about 6 pm to 12 am or so. I take quite a few precautions. I have had some run in's with folks walking up and asking for money, smokes, trying to sell me stuff. One of the cashiers got the creeps from a guy today and was telling me about it. Well, about 9pm tonight I hear sirens while I am in the trailer. I get in the warehouse and hear a horn, followed by someone yelling, and I see the blue lights. At first I think they are in my parking lot, so I go to a window. They were actually in the road just outside the parking lot, about 40 yards from me. OK, no big deal. Then I realize the LEO is behind his door with gun drawn. :blink: Oh boy! Next I see the driver of the car walking backwards to the officer's car with his hands on his head. Driver gets down on his knees. The officer shuts his door, but keeps back till backup gets there. Final tally was 5 cars on scene. About 15 minutes later the wrecker shows up.
My initial response was to watch, it's like a campfire, hard not to watch. When I saw the driver being cooperative I realized it was probably going to go smoothly. But I wanted to be sure no one was going to bail out and come my way. Or that the guy was not going to start something. Once backup got there I went back to work. Just kept an eye out till everything was wrapped up.
Might try to do some poking around tomorrow and see what it was all about. Just an interesting evening in paradise. :image035:
