| Today we were getting ready to serve a warrant at a local trailer. Some meth heads gather here and we occasionally take one for warrants. I drive through and see this guy barbecuing on the deck. He's wanted for escape from custody and has the nerve to nod as I drive by. I gather my friends and we decide the uniforms will go to the door and the plain clothes will cover the back. We converge and I hit the front and go into the entryway. I see our guy and another guy who is wanted in another county through the door window. They see me and boogie to the back. I run in and yell to the one guy to come back. He does and I cuff him. About this time, I realize, the other uniforms have gone elsewhere and I am alone in there. I cuff him and take him onto the deck and turn him over to another officer. I go back and yell to the next guy who comes out of the back. Turns out they were trying to hide a scale and one-hitter. The meth was cooked and gone. Funny how plans go awry. |
