So, I stumbled in to an armed robbery last night !!!

Last night, after work, I decided to gas up at Valero. I know the guy that works graveyard in there because I go in there a lot to pick up a beer or two after work. Today was a serious case of bad timing, or good timing, depending on how you look at it. Our local 7-11 was just robbed the other night, only the robber got away.. That time!
I turned on to main street to see a male running as fast as he could from the store, he was wearing all dark clothing and possibly a ski mask, or pantyhose on his head, I'm not absolutely sure. He ran in between two churches and he was moving so fast that I knew exactly what was going on without question. I took a quick look through the windows of the gas station and I didn't see the clerk and that made me worry, I hoped he didn't get shot. I turned the corner and hit my bright lights to find this guy.
I know what your thinking, it is dumb to chase after someone that just robbed a store, but what if the clerk would have been shot and I would have just drove on. The police never would have found this guy because nobody had a description of the car, or that he was even driving a car because he fled on foot. I would have had a guilty conscience for not doing anything in that situation.
It didn't take long to spot the guy because I had noticed the dome light come on in his car parked in the alley way behind the church, it was a small white car. I drove towards him and he to me, as he passed I looked right at him and he looked away and drove at a normal speed as if he was just another driver in the night. I drove around the block not to make it too obvious that I was watching him and I ended up in front of him. I drove at a normal speed to avoid raising his suspicion.
I knew that he didn't know that I was on to him until I made a sharp left and slid in to the police dept parking lot as I saw a cop running to his shiny black and white explorer. I already knew what he was in a hurry for so I slid up beside him and pointed.... that's the car, he knew exactly what I was referring to so he said thanks as he jumped back in and took off.
By the time he jumped in and took off the car had turned on a side street, luckily I shot straight through the alley and just happened to turn right behind the car again. By this time I wasn't going to lose him so I was right up on his bumper. My 35" tires were screeching as I rounded the corner and I think this might have tipped off the PD because they came up behind me out of nowhere and I pulled out of the way and pointed as they flew bye me, flipped on the sirens and the race was on. The bad guy is behind bars, that's all I can say at this time, it will make the news tomorrow I'm sure.
Enough said for now, until it becomes public news sometime tomorrow.
