Police in action

[bogey]

Last Thursday April 1, about 5:30 PM, I was travelling east on El Camino, as I approached the Morse Blvd Circle, I noticed approx 5 police cars, lights flashing. They had a young man on his knees behind his car as they were applying handcuffs to him, while another officer was standing behind them with gun drawn pointed at the suspect...Anybody know what was going on?? Looked like something out of Cops!!!

Lets see, my guess is a) he forgot to pay his amenities for this month or b) he disobeyed a direct order from "ARC" and didn't take down that hanging planter in his front yard.

Don't know what was going on, but sounds like he probably needed arresting since there were that many on him. :thumbup:

I have seen the same thing on Buena Vista. It is possible they stopped one of the area workers for speeding or something and found out he had several outstanding warrants.

Don't you sometimes wish that there was regular coverage of the news events in your town. I know there are lots of people who just don't want to know what's going on around them. Somebody said here once, "if it doesn't affect my family, I don't care about it." :confused:

Police, what police? Gun drawn? Where? Was it a western? Yeeeeha! Although I kind of like the non payment of amenities, sounds like big brother, yes?

I guess not knowing what's going on around you is better. What's that old saying......." (something I forget what is is)......is bliss."

My knowing this guy was arrested for whatever.....I just don't see how that is going to change what I do or don't do.

I like general information like that for my brain to process. Could mean trend or lifestyle reference. I think we should be aware of surroundings and happenings.

There is a lot of it around here and I DO MEAN LOTS!! It's reflected in not having a life of your own or having nothing to do from morning til night.
These people are called "busybodies" and making their whole life's directive the absolute need to know what everyone else around them is doing or not doing! Add that to what I dislike about certain Villagers. I try to avoid people like that as I would with a plague.

Are you including those who have a desire to know about criminal activity in The Villages?

In the area I grew up in they had a police blotter in the back pages of the newspaper. It listed by offence the arrests and tickets and the name of the person. I remember hearing people say don't speed through town, if you get a ticket you'll hear about it from everyone in church for a month. Maybe these wild golf cart and car driving people you guys keep complaining about would be more careful if they had a spotlight on them.

Just a thought.

I don't take it as being a nosey body at all .I take is as being informed of what's happening in your town.We read in the paper about people in the surrounding towns getting arrested and comment about how bad those areas are. There are things happening here also. Look at the other post about the mans plants being stolen or how about all the candles and the like being taken from the new Seabreeze Center, the kids doing damage in the parking lots uptown or the Christmas tree in the square getting damaged over the Holidays. It happens everywhere and people in general need to be more watchful and careful of what's going on around them.

In the past I have not agreed with many of your thoughts and posts, however, I must (in this case) agree with what you are saying. The need to know about this crap will not change my life.

I think BigLew was aping Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry persona....
