Not in the act of the strong arm robbery itself, it was the fleeing of the scene of the crime that I had to tackle his ass. I was standing near sporting goods dept. when I heard a loud scream of the female kind. I ran over to whatever dept it was and when I yelled for what happened, a man explained "this guy tried to pull this women's wallet out of her purse". The suspect denied the accusation. Well, with two witnesses, I'm definitely apprehending this man, but he had other ideas...flee the scene...so typical. The police charged the man with strong arm robbery...it was a weak strong arm case, but it is what it is. I do believe the lady (the elder kind) did grab his arm during the attempt and he persisted.
For sure.The lesson i learned is i`m not messing with someone that i feel superior than myself(by knowledge and wisdom, not by a position).I`m all ears.But some spieces are just unstopable sometimes. Good thread indeed to bring memory back!
No, I was working in the Chico, CA area back then. That situation was insane though. That's cool you remember that. I had to look up the date...1991.
I was mistaken it was a Good Guys store..Had many friends who went to school in Chico, always had fun visiting. Pioneer Week was Out of hand.
Pioneer Week was the best! Back then Chico didn't have the open container ordinance, if you were of legal drinking age...you could walk around with any open bottle and not be harassed. Unless of course, you looked like a little kid or you couldn't stand up. LOL I use to live in the apartments called "THE ZOO"!
Question: So Handle123 and Xela is now gone from ET? That's weird, I really enjoyed their post. Why did ET banned Handle123 and Xela from here?
