Tuesday morning feel good stories
Frankie sends us our first story this morning from Niceville, Florida;
The 38-year-old Crestview man was pulled over after an officer had noticed him loitering near a vacant house. The suspect pulled into a Tom Thumb and parked, fleeing on foot. The officer chased him until he jumped a chain link face.
Thirty minutes later, the Niceville Police Department got a call saying that a man who matched the suspect’s description had climbed through a bedroom window where a child was sleeping.
The child’s father armed himself with a loaded shotgun and confronted the suspect, who told him, “I’m not trying to hurt you. I’m being chased.”
He then ran out the front door.
From Sidney, Maine;
An intruder was shot in the chest Sunday night by a man who came to the rescue of his elderly mother and was in turn injured seriously himself, police said.
The intruder, Dreaquan Foster, 21, of Providence, Rhode Island, allegedly forced his way into the Lyons Road home of Audrey Hewett, 84, of Sidney, according to a news release Monday from Kennebec County Sheriff Ken Mason.
But Foster was thwarted by her son, 47-year-old Eric Hewett, who lives nearby and came over after receiving a phone call from his mother. Eric Hewett had a handgun and managed to shoot Foster in the chest, but he also sustained a serious head injury during the altercation, Mason said.

No information was immediately available about Foster’s medical condition Monday afternoon, but Mason said he will be taken to Kennebec County jail after he’s released from the hospital.
From Albuquerque, New Mexico, two victims extract revenge for a carjacking;
Just one day after Juan Saavedra, 37, and Christal Holliday, 23, reported being victims of a carjacking, APD says they tracked down the suspect themselves and kidnapped him.
After allegedly taking the teen from a 7-11 off of Carlisle Boulevard and Candelaria Road NE they went to Los Lunas to “punish” him. Then, they let him go.
According to the criminal complaint, there was little the pair didn’t do to hurt him.
The teen told police Saavedra and Holliday “first shot him in the ear at the 7-11 parking lot,” then “tied up his wrists and ankles.”
He said he was “tazed about 50 times” and thrown in a dirt hole “about 5 feet deep.”
Saavedra and Holliday were arrested Thursday night and appeared before a judge Friday.
From Henderson County, Texas;
Two men were fatally shot in Henderson County during a home invasion and attempted robbery.
[…]
The sheriff described the incident Monday, saying that a man and a woman were home at the time of the incident. Both received minor injuries.
The two own a home-based company and Hillhouse said the suspects showed up, initially acting as if they were potential customers. An altercation later followed and the two men were shot.

When you, your family, or friends, are threatened by thugs, you can hold them at gunpoint. If they are demonstrating a threat, you can shoot them. But you cannot hunt them down, kidnap and torture them. At least not when you don’t have a shovel, a secluded place and a good plan.
And don’t forget, “3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead.”
Shoot, shovel and shut up.
Basically, they were as big (if not bigger) of scumbags as the kid.
Here’s hoping they all get theirs.
yep, and its a crying shame isn’t it? 😉
Saavedra and Holliday didn’t follow three of the Four Esses;
Suppress
Shoot
Shovel
Silence
Prayers and best wishes to the son, Eric, for a speedy and complete recovery.
If he’d only used the One More Shot….
“Little the pair didn’t do” – boy, that is a limited imagination. He got off light.

Who the hell thinks up these “names”? Scrub that question — it’s gotta be the mother.
Quaeritur:
From where in hell do these “names” come? They are just sounds with no meanings, right?

Like a fellow I heard of named Oranjello, which I thought was a strange name, until I met his sister, Lemonjello.
