After work yesterday, my daughter and I had dinner with one of my co workers, then I picked up a couple of shepherd's hooks for the firepit area. Not long after I got home, I noticed a police officer and dog walking down the street, and my neighbor stopped and thanked him for his hard work......I thought that's nice. As I was taking the hooks out of the car, I noticed six other officers had joined the first one at the end of my driveway. They were talking and pointing to the wooded area behind my house. Turns out there had been an armed robbery at the apartment complex around the corner from the house, and three suspects had been seen in the area. Apparently, one of them had a rifle. All three suspects had finally been apprehended, and the officers were searching for evidence, and interviewing witnesses. I walked to the end of the driveway and asked if it was okay to get my mail....they were standing in the way....the officer with the dog handed the mail to me and told me to have a good evening.
That was the second armed robbery in those apartments within a couple of months.....and the week before Easter, some guy got into a confrontation with his father, and shot and killed him there. I hope the neighborhood crime spree is over......and I blame the university for over expanding.
