Two Thumbs Up











Saw the new Batman movie.. Me and Candice definitely recommend seeing it.

Week in Bear Lake




So it was time for another famous Candice's Family Reuion. Candice's Dad's side holds a big week long family reunion up at Bear Lake every other year. This would be Quin's first experience at the reunion. We had a pretty sweet setup with our own 1 bedroom condo with kitchen. We had fun in the sun, at the lake, on the golf courses, at the pool, etc. Quin loved the beach, sand, water, and pool a little too much. He did not want to leave either of those and he made sure he let us know. It was a fun week to get away from any stress and worries.

Saturday July 26 Evening Fun On The Job

The quiet calm of a beautiful Evanston night was damaged this past Saturday night as shots rang out in an apartment building. Witnesses said that an Asian male driving a white Audi A4 with Utah plates fired his silver handgun four times into a complex in what was described as a drive-by. There were two other vehicles allegedly involved, a green Suburban, and a black pick-up truck. After the gangland crime, the white Audi fled west into Utah, which would prove to be one of their biggest mistakes as there would soon be three Killer Bees awaiting their arrival.

In the meantime, Jeff was arriving on a fatal rollover of a drunk male near Echo junction. Niel and I were responding as well. Upon Jeff's arrival, it was determined that the crash was a county call and they had sufficient help. When dispatch put out the ATL for the drive by suspects, Niel and I diverted to cast our net. I remained stationary at milepost 163 for containment while Niel continued to the junction. Within a minute, I noticed a white Audi pass me traveling westbound. I got behind said Audi and verified that the plate matched the partial plate given out by witnesses. Niel, giddy as a school boy, turned his police interceptor around and gave it all the gas he could muster. In a feeble, "Who? Me?" attempt to blend in, the Audi quickly moved to the right lane and slowed to 10 - 15 mph under the posted speed limit. I stayed closely behind him (while laughing maniacally). Down the road, like Great White sharks lurking through seal infested waters, Deputy Justin Hemingway and State park officer Joe Donnell were lying in wait. Once they were behind me and Niel had caught up, a felony stop was made just west of the Wanship structure. Both occupants were pulled out at the point of Glocks, shotguns and a long rifle. While being placed in Niel's car, the Asian male driver casually proclaimed, "You've got the wrong guy." Riiiiiiighhht.

After the vehicle was cleared, Jeff arrived and the search was on. Jeff found a small baggy of meth in the ashtray behind the gear shifter. Niel found an access to the void underneath and behind the car stereo. In that void was a silver Taurus 9 mm handgun with an eight round mag. There were four hollow point rounds still in the mag, the other four rounds being lodged in an apartment building in Evanston. Next to the gun was an 'Altoids" tin with some tight buds of marijuana. Suddenly, the female passenger became concerned about her two children at home and needed to make sure they were okay. After all, she didn't know what was going on and had just gone to Evanston to "visit friends". Blah blah blee blee.

The perp is a five and half foot, buck 25 Southeast Asian gangbanger who is "loosely affiliated" with Kmer Rouge, TOP (tiny oriental posse) and CP1 (Campodian Pride). The female is his wife who "just wanted to get home to her kids". A day late and a dollar short in my humble opinion.

Although I will take credit on paper for the stop/incident, Jeff and Niel should receive as much or more recognition for their role. Also, thanks to Deputy Justin Hemingway and State Parky Joe Donnell. It was fun to remove these spoiled eggs before they could actually hit a target. See ya in 20, tiny Asian gangster!
