Intense Police Action!

Tonight was a little weird as I found a bunch of cop cars outside my house at 11pm. After counting what vechiles I could see, the totals are 9 police cars, 1 albulance, 1 firetruck, and 1 fire rescue truck. Considering how close they were together in strategic locations, I wouldn't be surprised if there were additional roadblocks set up nearby.



It all started with 5 cop cars showing up. They looked like they were just securing the area. Then once they started searching for the guy (my neibor), the other vechiles showed up to assist. More just kept coming. There was even a canine unit which conducted a thorough search of the alley and the area surrounding my neibor's house.



After the police had all arrived, the EMS and Fire departments were called in. The firefighters were all decked out with heavy gear and ready to go. They ran out heavy hoses (probably just a precaution, but for what...?). Finally the situation was resolved with my neibor being arrested.



This guy is a complete asshole, and probably deserves what he is getting. He drinks heavily, smokes, yells at his kids all the time, and is pretty violent. He was having marriage problems (guess why), and out of frustration he completely trashed his GMC Jimmy. This guy is a hazard when he and his mechanic friends test their handiwork by driving cars down the alley at 60 or 70 km/h... IN REVERSE! The worst thing was when his dog bit another neibor and he didn't do a thing. No appology. The dog can get out of his yard, but still isn't tied up.
