Hello All,

We had an "attempted robbery" at an Exxon station in Gallipolis on Sunday around lunchtime.

Girl set the silent alarm off and the police "rolled in" while he was still there in the store....He told the clerk he "was just joking" and took off out of the store before the officer came in.

She told them what happened (the guy had driven off) and a 2nd responding officer got him.

Then, the SAME store GOT robbed at closing time (10:00PM last evening.) Officers were close, the robber ran on foot, officers after him.

He jumpped over a bridge rail into a creek....(Never looked, just jumpped) The officer "didn't" jump....Used his radio to call for assistance and the K9....

K9 arrived, located robber on the creekbank, ate a little bit of him. He gave up. Took a trip to the hospital (to get the um, uh, K9 marks fixed) and then went to jail.

Had a shoplifter at Wal-Mart at 4:00AM this morning. Store employees "detained" the guy. As police were on t he way, he "escapped" from the store security. Police arrived as he was running across the parking lot & apprehended him. He gave them about 10 different names. He's still in jail. Judge says he can stay there until he "remembers" who he is....

Getting crazier here by the day...Chalk up a three for the good guys.

Steve/Gallia :(
