Four Sticks

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

This capture here I thought would go worse than what it did. So as the story goes, the defendant skipped court and was hiding. So once again, I have the general neighborhood he hangs out in.

So I’m driving down in a pretty shitty area of south St. Petersburg and I spot the target walking up the steet with a friend. I figure they are probably going to the store on the corner so I drive up the road and park in the parking lot. Remind you, it’s about midnight in this area and LOTS of shady people are standing around.

So I jump out of my car and hide behind the passengers side door. I wait until the target comes around the corner and jump out screaming and yelling. Him and his buddy hit the ground so quick that the defendent allegedly broke his finger. He’s cuffed and stuffed and returned to the county jail.

Later on I rebonded him and he made all his court appearances the second time around and we’re all good now. Total bond recovered was $3,500.

The Lemon Song

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

After this guy skipped out on court I went down to his grandmas’ house where he was staying at. I call local police due to the fact that the suspect had previously taken them for a high speed pursuit in which he allegedly ran 7 stop signs. So the local police bring the K-9 and about 6 deputies. I raid the house and the suspect isn’t there.

Later on, I find an address for where he might be staying. I call local police again and we pull up to the house. I notice a car in the driveway with both front doors open. I run up on the car and my suspect is sitting in the passenger’s side, smoking a blunt. At first, he doesn’t put his hands up on the dash. Just about to get tazed, he finally decides to listen. One of the deputies drags him out and cuffs him.

In the meanwhile, his brother comes out to see what all the yelling is about. He tried to go back inside when he saw the police, but it was too late. The police run his name and he comes back with felony warrrants. They are both taken to jail and the defendent later recieved a one year jail sentence for driving on suspended license (felony) and aggravated fleeing and eluding. Total bond recovered was $10,500
