Citizen's Arrest....

[Dirk Diggler]

So I am walking in the parking lot of a strip mall as I'm about to get a nice sandwich for lunch. This guy pulls up in a beat up van next to me and asks me if I'd be interested in a $2000 stereo system with surround sound for "a couple hundred bucks." I just tell him no thanks and walk away.

I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I got in the store and then I felt bad for whoever this guy probably ripped off. I mean, this scumbag is probably a drug addict and will continue along this course and maybe end up killing someone who comes home early.

So I'm waiting on line to get my sandwich and I'm debating if I should just call 911. I'm sure nothing will ever come of it but I'd probably have peace of mind. A second later a cop walks in the shop. I walk over and ask him if I can speak with him outside. I tell him what happened and he's like: "Aw we get calls like that all the time. Guys either steal em or get them in the city from people who steal em. We get calls a couple times a day on that stuff."

So just as he's asking me what color the van was, the guy drives by us in the parking lot! I'm like "dude, that's the guy." He's like "right there? I'm gonna go pull him over. Thanks a lot."

I drive by a few minutes later and it turns out there were a bunch of hoodlums in the van. No clue how many of them are going downtown right now. :cheers:

Hell Dirk, You might have just avoided a mugging. Think about it, a bunch of hoods finding out if you have enough cash to be worth rolling... hmmmmm.

Either way, good call. :cheers:

Woman Pelts Robbery Suspect With Bananas (http://www.lancasteronline.com/pages/news/ap/4/robbery_attempt_bananas)

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Crystal Senger stopped at a convenience store to buy pop and cigarettes, and she saw the clerk being choked in a robbery attempt. She ran to call for help. Then she started throwing bananas.

Senger, 19, said she grew up playing organized baseball, and used those skills to pelt the suspect in the head with every banana she threw, from about 10 feet away.

"I was seven-for-seven," Senger said in a telephone interview Thursday. "They were green bananas — not the ripe mushy ones — so they hurt."

Senger said the suspect, whom police said was intoxicated, was stunned from getting hit by the flying fruit.

A 17-year-old was arrested after he bolted from the Devils Lake store and tripped over a piece of wood, after a short foot chase, Police Chief Bruce Kemmet said. The teen had no weapon and no money was taken from the store, Kemmet said.

Police said the suspect, who was not identified because of his age, stood more than 6 feet tall, and weighed about 300 pounds. He allegedly entered the Holiday Station Store about 1 a.m. Tuesday.

"It's pretty simple. The guy walked into the store and said something to the effect of "Give me what I want,"' Kemmet said.

"He threw me around like I was nothing," said store clerk Ed Bingham, "and I weigh 220 pounds." Bingham said the suspect kicked and punched him for what "felt like forever."

Bingham, 43, said he pushed a button that alerted the store's security company.

"When I walked in the store, I saw Ed in a choke hold, yelling for help and gasping for air," Senger said. "There was blood everywhere."

She ran out and told her friend to call 911 on her cell phone. "She was in shock, so I had to do it," Senger said.

Senger said she came back in the store and "screamed at the top of my lungs at him to stop." When she was sure the suspect was unarmed, she began bombarding him with bananas.

Senger said the basket of bananas was the closest thing she could find. "If there would have been cans of soup on the counter, I would have thrown those at him," she said.

Bingham, who has worked at the store 15 years, said he had a swollen eye and needed four stitches to close a cut on his eyebrow. He returned to work Wednesday night.

Kemmet said the suspect faces a number of charges in juvenile court, including robbery, assault and underage drinking.
