I'm sitting at my desk working when I hear tires screeching. I get up and see this car flying around the corner and then wipes out. Two guys bail and hightail it down third street towards Schlitz. A third is pinned between the car and the building trying to run away, but the cops nail him. It was like a movie for a couple minutes.



Running away from a drive by. I thought there were two guys running away from the car. The other must have been someone on the street.

My first guess would have been at the bridge.

Truck nuts weighed him down. Should have hit the quick release button.

I hope you get 1,000 likes because you deserve it and I'm sad I can only give but one.

It took out a lamp post and the traffic light box or whatever it's called.

Looked like a parking meter to me.

I don’t know why the cops didn’t just help these guys. They were obviously late for class.

I heard a police cruiser roaring by my office on 3rd from the downtown precinct. If I had known that's where they were headed I would have poked my head out the door to see.

They guy that got pinned quickly threw his hands up once he realized he wasn't getting away. I'm not sure about the other two. The cops walked them back in cuffs about 15 minutes later. I have video I wish I could post.
