~The Chase My Husband Helped With~

My Husband
Valdosta, Georgia
October 19, 2017 7:25pm CST
My husband and kids were fishing earlier today, minding their own business when a police officer runs into our backyard. He asked my husband if he saw a guy running behind the pond. My husband said he did and told him where he went. The officer was on foot so he asked my husband to ride him around to look where they spotted him. My husband was so excited! He said in the truck he sang bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do...Lol. The officer smiled as my husband sang it. The helicopters flew overhead for quite a while looking for the guy as well. He stole someone's vehicle and led the police on a chase, ditched the car and ran on foot. The officer was exhausted by the time he got to our house apparently which is why he asked for a ride. They had the dogs sniffing everywhere too. It was pretty crazy here today out of nowhere. Unfortunately my husband and the officer were unsuccessful and we don't know if they ever found him. Hopefully they did, it's quite unsettling knowing he's on the loose... They only found out after that he has a weapon on him or I dont think they would have included my husband. If it loads the picture is of my husband, an hour before the craziness erupted.

They put your husband at risk asking to help to chase him, imagine they found him and he tried to shot at them.

@LadyDuck They didn't realize at the time that he was armed. I'm just grateful he is safe.

@LovingMyBabies They should have thought, it's their job not to put citizens in danger.

Gosh, this is quite an ordeal, an armed criminal at large! I'm surprised the officer included your husband, with that man carrying a weapon!:(

@kobesbuddy Yeah, they didn't know about the weapon until after apparently. Otherwise I don't think they would have.

Wow, yeah, I doubt they would have included Johnny if they had known he was armed. It would make me very cautious for a while as well.

Sounds exciting..one time when I was going to Costco I saw a guy running down a sloped hill in an area where you don't usually see people. Not sure if someone was chasing him or not..maybe..turns out he had just stolen some jewlery from a display case there. The police car was parked in front of the store. I think maybe they did catch him..this was a while back.

@infatuatedbby Yeah, it was crazy. It's not close to our house that it happened-they were on the chase for a while and the guy ran toward the back of our neighborhood.
