Aw Hail II
An Orange County, N.Y., sheriff deputy trying to pull over a motorist went in pursuit when the driver fled. The car went faster than the pursuing deputy was willing to in the icy conditions, and indeed the bad guy spun out and crashed, then fled on foot. After 90 minutes of searching through the snow, deputies noticed a taxi drive by, looking for his fare. “The cab seemed out of place,” deputy Justin Butterfield said, so he flagged it down. Sure enough, the taxi was called by a man using a cell phone. The cab wasn’t quite to the pickup location yet, so Butterfield jumped in the cab, ducked down, and told the driver to pick up the caller. Sure enough, the suspect flagged the cabbie down, and Butterfield got his man. (Middletown Times Herald-Record) ...And a way out of tracking the guy through the snow.
