what did I do this weekend ?
well, wife and I were heading to the grocery store.
my duty officer jumped up a stolen car.
no other officers within 15 miles, so I went to back him. (well, yes, I did have a radio and my gun,)
car ran.
high speed (sorta, never went over 85) following in the secondary position, running radio, in our personal truck, with my wife, for the first 15 miles of the chase, until he go onto the interstate and a state trooper caught up about then. we stopped and looked for stuff he had thrown out the window at that point.
wife was super excited, she had not ridden with me on a chase for about 25 years.
several stop sticks (tire deflation devices) and 40 miles later, he was on steel and finally stopped, no incident.
multiple felony charges, stolen car, stolen credit cards, felon in possession of a firearm, agg assault on a LEO (swerved toward a cop putting the stop sticks out), guy has a rap sheet about 14 pages long, going back to when he was a JV and adjudicated as an adult, he's 32 now and sitting in our jail on a 100K bond.
we did make it to the grocery store, just took a bit.
