‘Stop running, bro’: 3 teens, 1 armed with stolen gun, try to escape arrest, HCSO says
Story by Sierra Rains
RIVERVIEW, Fla. (WFLA) — Three teens were taken into custody Monday after officials said they were seen openly carrying guns through a Riverview neighborhood.One of the guns, an AR-style pistol, had previously been reported stolen and was linked to a burglary case in Ruskin earlier this year, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they received a call about a group of teens causing a disturbance on the evening of Monday, Aug. 4.
A helicopter crew spotted a car trying to leave the neighborhood, and three teens got out and started running after deputies stopped the vehicle, the sheriff’s office said.
Video provided by the sheriff’s office showed the view from the helicopter as the teens took off running in-between homes in the area.
“They’re going to be running back to the north,” someone could be heard saying over the radio.
Deputies gave chase, with one deputy’s body camera showing him catching up to a teen in a gray hoodie.
“Stop running, bro,” the deputy shouted.
The teen eventually dropped to the ground with his hands splayed out. The deputy then placed him in handcuffs, saying, “Bro, what are you doing?”
Another teen was spotted by the helicopter crew as he was walking in a wooded area behind the homes.
“Looks like he’s got one shoe on. Left shoe missing,” someone said over the radio. “He’s hopping the fence now.”
The sheriff’s office said all three teens, ranging between 17 and 18 years old, were arrested on several charges. Deputies said they recovered a total of three firearms, including the stolen AR-style pistol.

It ain’t easy running from an IR equipped helo. Don’t miss the video.
As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I’ve realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it’s much, much bigger than that. I’ve come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated.

Let me guess.
The one missing a shoe, his name is John, as in the Mother Goose nursery rhyme;
Deedle deedle dumpling
My son John
Went to bed with his stockings on
One shoe off, and one shoe on
Deedle deedle dumpling
My son John
Perhaps one of the other teens, named Morris, hid his other shoe?
I do say I always enjoyed the foot chases where loosely fitting clothing would start falling off. Most often it was the pants, which for a long period of time was worn about halfway down the little hoodling’s ass crack. Sometimes it was shoes though. I also had one take off running after some dope was found in his socks and we made him take the shoes and socks off.
Sometimes it would be like a trail of bread crumbs with a semi-naked hood rat at the end of the trail.
The “pants down” look is still popular in some areas – including in prison.
Truth in advertising?
It was always about that. The little hoodlings know it too.
Wannabes don’t know it means they’re “receptive” in jail, fun to tell ’em.
And we got to see Tweedle-Dee, and Tweedle-Dumb get caught.
They done messed up.
Love the IR sights option. Keep wanting to add that option to my toolkit.
