Tuesday Morning Feel Good Story

Average NCO sends us a feel good story this morning, but, unfortunately, there is no firearm involved. It comes from Mississippi where Bridgett Bolen was tanking up her Toyota at the local filling station. Anthony Harris made the poor decision to relieve her of her purse, while she was getting ripped off at the pump;

“I saw the man standing over there and he just looked creepy,” Bolen said.

Bolen had the doors open on her Toyota Camry and was vacuuming the floor behind the driver’s seat, when Harris approached and took her purse and keys off the front passenger’s seat.

“I looked up and he was getting my purse and keys and I said, ‘Ahhhh, no you didn’t,”’ Bolen said. “I don’t know how I got to the other side of the car, whether I flew over the hood or what. I guess I ran around the back of the car.”

When Bolen caught up to the 6-foot-4 Harris, he was near the front-right panel of her vehicle.

“I yelled ‘Sir’ and he turned around and I kicked him between the legs,” Bolen said. “I was trying to pull my keys away and when he bent over and got about eye level, smack.”

Bolen delivered a right jab to Harris’ left eye.

“When he grabbed his face, I grabbed my keys and purse and ran,” she said.

She ran into the station restroom, locked the door and didn’t come out until Mobile police officers, who were quickly on the scene, assured her it was safe to emerge.

Harris was being sought by police for pulling the same trick on a 72-year-old woman. Bolen noticed that her hand was swollen from smacking Harris and went to a local doctor who treated her for free remarking that she was his hero. Oh, yeah, Harris had some pot on him when he was arrested – smart guy.
