Sunday morning feel good stories
From Grady County, Oklahoma;
A family was asleep early Tuesday morning, when a man high on drugs kicked in their front door and made his way inside, but he was met by a man with a gun who took matter into his own hands.
“He was in our hallway going toward our room when our husband ran out,” a scared wife says on the phone with 911 dispatchers.
Three children were home at the time.
The army veteran grabbed his handgun on the way out and forced the intruder out of the house at gunpoint.
“Get down on the ground. Get down on the (expletive) ground,” the homeowner yelled during the 911 call.
While waiting for authorities, the family’s son took a photo of the suspect, Travis Thrash, on the ground.
Little did the family know, Newcastle Police and Grady County Sheriffs were already on their way responding to Thrash trying to break into another home.
“He had tried apparently to get into the back door of a lady`s house one block over and she heard the commotion,” Grady County Sheriff Jim Weir said.
From Miami, Florida;
Miami detectives said the incident began after the 16-year-old boy stole his mother’s car the day before to pick up his dad, Vladimir Sanchez, from jail. An officer stopped the stolen car with Sanchez and his son inside and found marijuana and meth pipes.
The teen took off running forcing officers to set up a perimeter from West Flagler Street to Northwest 4th Street between 27th and 28th Avenues. Nearby St. Michael’s Catholic School was placed on lockdown as a result.
Sanchez was taken into custody but the 16-year-old got into some sort of confrontation with a homeowner in the 2700 block of Southwest 3rd Street.
The 82-year-old homeowner was upstairs when he heard a noise in his basement and went to check it out, police said.
During the altercation the homeowner fired shots, hitting the 16-year-old in the backside. He was later taken into police custody. His condition was unknown.

“Vladimir Sanchez?” Oh there’s got to be a story there. Congrats on staying out of jail for almost an entire morning.
He must have missed being anally penetrated by Julio. Now father and son can be prison brides. Which side of the family traditionally pays for the wedding when there is a prison marriage?
The visualization of “anally penetrated” does not go well with a great cup of coffee….lol.
Could be the son of someone who originally supported Fidel, but later became disillusioned with or got purged from the Cuban Communist Party and later escaped to the US with his family. A fair number of Cuban males born in the 1960s had Russian-sounding first names para honrar la Revolución. Ditto other parts of Latin America where Fidel had supporters.
If he was born in, say, 1968 he’d be 49 or so. That’s easily old enough to have a 16 y/o son.
Alternatively, he could be the child of a Soviet father and a Cuban mother who later ended up here. The Soviet Union did have “technicians” in Cuba for decades.
Actually there’s a tradition in South America of commies naming their kids for Soviets. For example, Marxist terrorist Carlos the Jackal was born Ilyich Ramírez Sánchez – named for Lenin by his Marxist father. His brothers were “Lenin” and “Vladimir” all born before Castro was a household name.
Father and Son drug fiends. I’m sure the Son will fetch more cigarettes at auction if he’s still a “Jailhouse Cherry”.
My surprise is that they have basements in Miami??
Amen to that, I remember a job I did as a HAZMAT Contractor in Daytona Beach where we hit the water table at about five feet.
That must have been a very dry year! Usually, you hit water at 2 feet. I would love to see this guys basement??
Oh the irony…
In 1946, my father, freshly returned from the South Pacific, chased, with gun in hand, a burglar from our home in St. Louis. It was the second attempt in a few weeks. Determined to get his family away from such rampant crime, he moved us to a more bucolic setting, the little town of Chickasha in peaceful, wait for this:
Grady County, Oklahoma.
The woman in Grady County was so scared she said “our husband?”
Probably. Their children were in the house as well.
Driving a stolen car to the jail to pick up his just released father?
Nothing says family bonding as does a story such as this.
A family that crimes together, stays together (in jail).
Definitely has the elements necessary for a hit country song.
“I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison/ and I went to pick her up in the rain…”
The late Cubs fan, Steve Gooman did his best: https://youtu.be/8QUSQJQml40.
oops, Goodman.
He stole the car from his mother.
I wonder if the meth was hers.
