I witnessed a robbery on my way home tonight.
A gas station attendant was robbed at gun point and while the suspect was running to get in the get away car, I saw him and the gun. I immediately pulled over and turned around to try and get a license plate #, but there was too much traffic for me to tailgate him. I then pulled into the gas station to make sure the attendant was ok. She was and the cops were called.
I learned what it was like to give a written witness statement. Basically, you go into the police station and sit down in a room and give a statement verbally to a cop....then they ask you to write it down in detail on a sheet of legal paper. They also take down a variety of personal information. It took about 30 mins and I was good to go.
FYI..They caught the fucker that robbed the gas station. The get away car swerved across on coming traffic and flipped over the curb while being chased by the police. The suspect with the gun was ejected from the back window and landed 15 yards away. He is in intensive care after sustaining a gash to his head and severe head trauma.
Karma is a mutha fucka!!

Nice! Did you feel like it was a pain in the ass being in the police station for that long just to give a statement that says you really didn't see anything? Something similar happened to me and I was pretty annoyed.
ReplyDeleteI was a little annoyed that I had to come back to the police station at 10pm at night...and it was foggy out.
ReplyDeleteI just kept telling myself that I was doing a good deed.
