Thankful for my local PD/Sheriff today *Pics on pg 2

To start off, my wife and I were carjacked last night on the way home from a New Year’s Eve party. We saw a bicycle with a kids seat on the back holding up traffic and laying in the middle of the road. We were worried that maybe someone had been hit since the area was dimly lit. When we stopped and got out to check the adjacent ditch for anyone that was injured, a man emerged out of the shadows on the side of the road and clipped me with a right hook before I knew he was even there. Apparently he had set a trap and hoped to knock me out so he could steal my truck. We fought long enough for my wife to get away but I bailed out of the fight once I saw him reaching into his waistband for a weapon. I didn’t actually see whatever he was reaching for in the darkness but I just didn’t want to gamble that he was armed.


He took the police on a high speed chase and ended up invading an old woman’s apartment and assaulting her as well. Thankfully, there was a K-9 unit on scene and he worked the perp over pretty good.


Anyhow, all that to say, I was grateful to my city police and sheriffs deputies for their quick response. It wasn’t two minutes after he had taken the truck that they were already in pursuit. The officers on scene were extremely professional and helpful and managed to get me back to my truck (which was shockingly in perfect condition) within the hour of the confrontation beginning. I know there are some crappy cops out there but I was glad to have the ones on duty last night. Happy new year everyone.
