In the dark, about 6 am, LA police spotted a stolen pick up truck and lit the guy up. He fled and the chase was on. The truck driver tried to lose them down side streets, but turned into a cul-de-sac and was blocked in. So, he did the next logical thing, opened the door, jumped out and ran. The helicopter spotlight overhead revealed the running man was naked. He jumped some fences and cut down a dirt footpath through a homeless encampment and scaled a fence running across two freeway ramp lanes stopping traffic with the officers and the helicopter close behind. He made his way into a heavily wooded area where he was apprehended at 6:22 a.m. Motive is yet to be determined.
The Police Station had been quiet for most of the week . Things were so slow that detectives were playing cards to pass the time. “What a life,” grumbled one of the officers, “no fights, no thefts, no drunks, no murders, nothing.” “Now rest easy Mike,” said the captain, “things will break soon. You got have more faith in human nature.”
The policeman late at night stopped a man walking down the street wearing a sheet wrapped around him. The cop asked, “are you a poker player?” “No,” the man replied, “but I just left some fellows who are.”
A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding convertible on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was as surprised to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting. Realizing that she was oblivious to his flashing lights, the trooper turned on his bullhorn and yelled, “Pull over!” “No,” the blonde yelled back,” it’s a scarf.”
Two Redneck Alabama State Troopers were chasing a Mustang East on I-20 toward Georgia. When the suspect crossed the Georgia line, the first Trooper pulled over quickly. The rookie Trooper pulled in behind him and said, “Hey, sarge, why did you stop?” The sarge replied, “He’s in Georgia now. They’re an hour ahead of us, so we’ll never catch him.”
