Remember this? Well tonight as we were sitting at our computers, we heard many police sirens nearby, and then they didn’t get any louder or quieter, so we went outside. This time a car chase ended right at the corner of Rutland and 13th, in front of Tim and Ginny’s house. It looked like they had the driver in custody, so we watched for awhile. More police cars came screeching up, slamming into curbs and generating a cloud of burning rubber odor. Eventually an ambulance, firetruck, and tow truck arrived to join the dozen HPD cars. In the end, only the tow truck was needed. Apparently the chase originated in Montrose, a guy buying/stealing drugs from an undercover officer.

Once again, it turned into a neighborhood social event with everyone speculating about the incident, talking about their holiday plans, and eventually, yes, heading in to watch TV.

Which, by the way, is my third car chase this year; I’ll write about the others another time.
