I awoke this morning to the distinct sound of a Jet Ranger very low and very slow over my house. At first I thought it might be life flight or something heading into a hospital about 7 miles away so I just ignored it and made my way to the coffee pot.
About 5 minutes later I hear it again and it passes slowly over my house then begins to hover or circle slowly so I went to the window, didn’t see anything, so I walked outside.
It was overcast with a ceiling of about 1000 to 1500 feet and there he was, not more than 100 to 200 feet above the trees with some guy looking out the side.
I stood there for a minute or so looking at him looking at me wondering just what the heck was going on when he (the guy hanging out the copper) waved at me and pointed behind me towards my drive way.
I turned and looked back only to see 5 maybe 7 police cars, two K-9 trucks and a big van with Sheriffs Dept written on it.
I spent 4.5 years working for my local SO as a Deputy first assigned to the jail then patrol, before leaving for greener pastures and more excitement.
Well to make a long story short I went down to the drive way and spoke with a deputy who I know, who told me that some guy had assaulted another deputy on a traffic stop then took a bush bond right through my front yard into the woods behind my house.
They gave me the description of him and said he might be armed and to act accordingly if I see him, which around theses parts means aim for the head.
Spent the morning with my P7M8 IWB and a spare mag in my pocket and watched the State Patrol Chopper dodging the thunderstorms while I sipped coffee and surfed the net.
