‘After a few minutes the troopers released the couple from what they described as “investigation detention and not an arrest.”‘
…armed fugitives simply cannot resist the siren song of the Happy Meal.
I mean, really. Family in a minivan at a McDonald’s drive-thru? What in hell could possibly be less suspicious than that?
And if the troopers were searching for an armed fugitive with a description that amounted to “look for a minivan,” then we got big problems back at HQ.
McGurk escaped in the area the other day (ironically, right near where teams were filming for the film slam – in which one team wrote a creepy murder mystery, and our team dumped a “body” at the library). He has been on the loose ever since.
Someone reported that he was in the van. I’m thinking gunpoint was overboard, but the police were right, under the circumstances, to question the people in the van and verify he was not in it.
My sons (in their mid twenties) had the misfortune to be driving a silver truck with a silver cap through one of these search towns mid-Sunday morning unaware of all this .They were stopped by a local cop for going a few miles over the speed limit. However the cop behaved odd and aggressive.First he asked them out of the truck ,which they refused. He then asked if they had any cocaine,weapons or weed and said he wanted to search the vehicle for weapons (‘no trouble,it would only take couple minutes’ he said) this, they refused also.
They were filming for the 48 hr. Bradford Film Slam mentioned above had been up late and must have looked scruffy and tired to the cop,but his out of the blue request/demand to search the truck seemed odd. They were given a speeding ticket allowed top go on their way,but were pretty shaken by this treatment.
I just heard a public access broadcast in which Mayor Manahan of St. Albans said they were “looking into” getting a Segway for the local police patrol.
