The tables were turned on a would-be burglar at a Little Rock business early this morning.
It happened just after five o'clock at BMW Motorcycles on Jones Street, just north of I-630.
Police say the suspect, Haywood Patterson, 43, was hit in the upper body and face from a shotgun blast, and his injuries are life-threatening. He was arrested a block away from the business.
Officers were called to the scene when the burglar alarm went off. An employee who had been sleeping inside told police a loud noise woke him up. When he went to investigate, he found a pick-up truck backing into the business and encountered a suspect who ran outside and then crouched near the front door.
Fearing that the man had a weapon, the employee told police he pointed a shotgun at him and fired. At that point, the pick-up truck drove away from the business.
Police say no charges have been filed in the incident and detectives are working to identify two other suspects.
“He was arrested a block away from the business.”? Don’t know if I’d have been able to go a black after this.
Centurian multi buck is better ammo for this kind fo thing.
How ya doing arbooz?
A Harley yeah, understandable. But a Beemer?!? .. fugetaboutit.
A friend recently commented that with high unemployment, people would turn to crime. I asked him how broke he would have to be to become a thief? He was speechless. I told him I wouldn’t even ask about his turning to meth, or hurting his neighbors, I just wanted to keep an eye on him for a warning. He admitted I had a good point.
You know Condor51 I rarely lock my Electraglide when I go somewhere. I just figure most know it is not worth them dying to try to steel.
