11am and the helicopters continue to buzz around overhead.

Sez he went to his "girlfriend's house" in Northern Labelle.. Great. Wonder if her husband knew?


(I know how to start rumors but don't do it often)

I read on an unmentioned site the manager recognized the robber. I wonder if the crook had previously worked at the country club.

It isn't the first time that a country club south of 466A has been robbed in the middle of the night. Last time it was employees, too.

I suppose news at noon will give an update too.

It’s irritating enough just listening to the helicopters for hours, I can’t imagine how p***ed off the evacuated residents must be!

Just came North on Morse from 44 and when I got the Moyer Loop roundabout here comes The Villages Trolley Tour. I can only imagine the narrative..."On the left is our Belle Glade Country Club...Isn't it beautiful? Don't mind all the police presence. It was robbed last night, but we don't like to talk about that". "And on the right is the Village of LaBelle where the suspect is barred in a home. Again, not an everyday occurrence." Now straight ahead...look at all the beautiful landscaping...." :)

Caught him in a cow pasture, after the swat team used a battering ram to crash out the front window of the home in North Labelle (That had a butterfly motif on the driveway). He ran for a white SUV for which he apparently had keys and took off with a bunch of officers chasing him. Took at least three officers to pull him out of the car. Said he didn't want to go back to jail.
