Exclusive: Tonight at 9:15 p.m. a male hispanic, 30ish, with a blue shirt, blue jean shorts, escaped from the 20th district police parking lot. Here's the kicker. He's handcuffed. He headed southbound on Western.
Update #1: It's been 40 minutes, and the guys still on the loose. Helicopters are being called in (9:50 p.m.), along with the hunting dogs. A full-bore man hunt is underway. No reason why he was handcuffed, or how he got away from the police in the first place. He's loaded with tattoos, his hair is in a pig or pony-tail style.
Oh, and he's handcuffed.
Update #2: Offender struck the police officer with his hands - that's why he was arrested.
* Police let K-9 dogs loose in the cemetery on Western.
* Helicopter couldn't help in the police man-hunt, because it only operates between 1400 hundred and 2000 hundred hours on the clock. (2:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.)
* It's alleged the offender had help in trying to have the handcuffs removed by cutting through them.
* Man-hunt ends as subject is captured in the 10th district at 11:05 p.m. Total time on the loose - 1 hour and 50 minutes.
BLOGNOTES: Why the restricted hours on the police helicopter? How'd the dude get some 50 blocks south in a hour and a half?

How does he expect to get out of those handcuffs ?
If he can get out of them, I think the chances are slim that the dogs and helicopters will find him.
Because the city, as usual, is trying to do this on the cheap. The cost to run a helicopter division is tremendous. IRRC, it's 10 hours maintenance for every hour flight time. Plus, this helicopter unit is in development. They are still looking for qualified pilots, maintaince crews, etc., etc.
Now we know who ate the mushrooms. The real issue is this man simply doesn't know how to think through the escape process, handcuffs indeed. Should we not reach out and help these foolish escapees through their times of escapism? Or because they are in handcuffs can we not reach out at all?
burp.
Am I the only one that would go out of their way to hit this guy with a baseball bat until he was unconscious, even if he willingly gave up? Can you imagine looking in your back yard and seeing a guy huddling in a corner, handcuffed?
My GOD. I'd have my Rogersville slugger to the punk's shins before you could say "ole ole".
I sent this information to Second City Cop and they posted it on their website. Here's some comments from the police.
Heya one and all,
I am real close to moving to RP but I want to read what you guys REALLY think about your neighborhood. Already I think it sucks. And I’m not even there yet! I’m a straight up single guy whose tired of the ‘burbs and wanting to get back into the mix. But maybe RP isn’t the place to spend my hard earned $. According to what I’m reading, RP is nothing more than a drug market run by gangbangers and crooked politicians. Say it ain’t so! Otherwise I’ll take my gentrifying, law abiding, ass elsewhere.
