Don’t flee from law enforcement and you wont have that problem…down right dumb!
This was the suspect that killed hilself right?
Westbound highway 24 was shut down for SIX HOURS while the investigation was in progress. Traffic was a total mess! The vehicle in question wound up on it’s roof and on fire!
Thanks Obama
Stay safe OPD. Good job interrupting whatever crime in progress, murder or mayhem that caused theses perps to flee. Shirley? not first time offenders. …..aspiring rappper, tuning their lives round etc. can hardly wait for the outcry next week.
