                            A suspect who robbed a gas station in Flagler County, Florida was tracked by Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol heading north into nearby Georgia.  Once in Camden County, GA, the Kingsland Police Department achieved a positive Stop Stick hit on the vehicle on I-95. The vehicle later came to a stop and the suspect fled on foot. The suspect then entered a nearby convenience store, brandished a firearm, and demanded the clerk’s car keys. The suspect then took the clerk’s vehicle and started to flee but then crashed the vehicle through the front of the convenience store. The suspect then exited the vehicle and chased the clerk and a customer through the store and a struggle ensued. The clerk, who was now armed, shot the suspect approximately eight times according to Georgia authorities. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for his injuries.  “I commend the Georgia store clerk that put a swift end to this dirtbag’s crime spree. If he survives his injuries, he should spend a long time in prison,” said Sheriff Rick Staly… Continue reading » |

                                  | A wanted inmate who escaped work detail in a metro Atlanta police car is back in custody thanks to the help of a citizen.  According to the Newton County Sheriff's Office, the inmate escaped while working at the Covington Police Department. He managed to get away in an unmarked gray Ford Crown Victoria patrol vehicle. The vehicle, which was out of service, had last been seen in the Brown Bridge Road area. Around 6:30 p.m., the inmate was apprehended. The sheriff’s office says a citizen saw him and held him at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived… Continue reading » |

                                  | A stranger stepped in to help a man he witnessed being pistol-whipped by a suspected robber in southwest Houston Saturday night, according to police. Investigators said the stranger saw the robbery as it was happening at a Chase Bank in the 10400 block of Westheimer Road. A man pulled into the bank to withdraw money from the ATM when the armed suspect came around the corner and ordered him to hand over money, according to police. Detectives said the victim reportedly began to comply until the suspect began to pistol-whip him. That is when police say someone driving by saw the crime happening and pulled out a gun to defend the victim… Continue reading » |
