manhunt in my neighborhood, ken smith reporting from the end of my street!

Published Aug. 20, 2008

As I got home from work tonight, I was surprised by literally a dozen sheriff's cars zooming around our quiet neighborhood in Eagle Ridge.  As I turned onto the street I live, there was Channel 5's news staff with Ken Smith reporting live.

Apparently, a suspect sideswiped a sheriff deputy around the corner from us and fled into our neighborhood.  The police currently have a pretty big manhunt going on and are tucked into a corner of the golf course (fourth and fifth hole area) with Highway Patrol and Sky Five helicopters zooming overheard.  I saw Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison going by the house as he assisted in the manhunt.

We've received and automated telephone call from the sheriff's office telling us the story and asking us to stay out of the way.  So, like the rest of you, I am watching this on TV, but I do have my trusty firearm handy in case the perp tries to come into the house.  You never know.

Ya ought to go down there in your wife beaters and a beer and black out two teeth and say on the tube:

"We wulda found him - me, smith and wesson, and my coonhound. We wulda founded him so the sherif wulda not had to do eeet."

I just got in...missed the news. It was a 16 y/o kid????

Cripes..

Another 16 year old with way too much time on his hands. The good kids out there working their hinneys off at after school jobs, or the ones that are active in sports and school related porgrams seldom come up in stories like these. It's always some "bored" youngster that hasn't a clue about what having a real good time entails. Sad story all around.

Charles - Donnie Harrison lives not far from you, right down the road from me. Between being married to a cop and all the cops in my neighborhood - I am one of the safest folks in Wake County :-)

Glad they got the loser.

Well, they got their man and all is back to quiet over here. I guess Ken Smith will file an update at 6pm.

Must be a slow law enforcement day and a SLOWER news day for a swiped cop car to warrant all this. I would hope there is more to this story, otherwise I gotta say this overkill is a waste of tax dollars.

dude !! keep your camera handy but becareful

wow I went thru the same thing two weeks ago. At least on you end you got a phone call we got nothing and the worse part is kids were standing outside waiting on the school bus(year around).

pop a cap in his behind..

Be careful CB, keep me updated since im at work
