Ft Wayne LEO - What happened to the White Sable/Taurus tonight?

[Libertarian01]

To All,

Earlier this morning I almost made the news - in a bad way!

Much earlier (around 1800) I had joined a friend on the SW side of Ft. Wayne. We went downtown to pick up ribs at Ribfest. I took him back to his house where his family and I downed all the ribs and brisket.

When we were done eating we sat out on the back patio and smoked a couple of good Monte Cristo Whites and chatted the night away. I was booted out a little before midnight.

Anyway, I was meandering home in no particular hurry heading north on Spy Run Ave taking a back way just south of Tom Steele Tires. A white Sable or Taurus clearly going the wrong way on a one way cut right in front of me hauling a**. Had I been in a hurry to get home and going just 5 or 10 MPH faster I know I would have been slammed into next week. I thought, "that idiot better watch it or he is going to get a ticket."

As I proceeded north all of a sudden there was the sound of sirens and lights in my rear view mirror so I immediately signaled, got as far right as I could and stopped. It would appear LE was already on him and in a high speed chase. By the time I got to Parnell Ave neither one was seen by little ol' me.

I love and trust my Volvo dearly but I know a car that size going that fast would have surely put me in the hospital for a time! Both must have been doing at least 80 - 100 MPH!

I hope no one was injured and the idiot will get some free time to consider stupid and his cousin - consequences.

Any insight?

Regards,

Doug

Only chase I can find is the one with 5 juveniles in a green Benz.

I can't speak for the car chase guy, but I know what YOUR mistake was;

We went downtown to pick up ribs at Ribfest.

Just stick to Ziffle's, man.

^^^^ This! ^^^

I will forever love Spy Run and the cool twists and turns. Great name of a street even though it goes through a crappy area

Ziffle's is good, but I miss Griffins. Blue Stack is now my go-to BBQ joint.

Back to Doug.

So the police blotter shows a high speed chase in that area at 3:12 on Friday. That's the only thing I see that fits the description.

There is always a lot of LEO activity that happens on any given day/night that you don't or won't likely hear of...

For example- I've done a lot of ride-a-long's with a LEO friend and I was absolutely astounded in seeing what actually happens everyday that doesn't make the headlines.. We were in high speed chase of an S10 pick-up one night, where the perp was driving fast enough where he didn't make the curve and drive right into the living room of a house at 3:30am!!! All you could see was the bed of the truck sticking out of the house siding... It NEVER made the news at ALL!

Also- I'm sure most haven't heard about the guy who somehow stole a key to all the downtown parking meters and proceeded to clean them out for nearly a month before he was finally caught near Fryman's Square in the wee hours of the morning!? It would have cost the City over 200 grand to replace/update all those locks, so the Mayor chose to try to find the guy instead-- which thankfully the local LEO's did. Good ol' Mayor Henry didn't want THAT one to get out I'm sure.... It BARELY made the news except for a tiny JG article and this just happened a weeks or so ago.

Move along...nothing to see here........

Was he using the church key on the chain around his neck? With that much change you could probably buy fifty eggs.
