The reports I have seen say that it took 15 minutes for the police to get in position after Mr. Lantz made the call.

Maybe so, but I read the call was made to the police at 1:00 am, and the police arrived and made the arrests at around 3:00 am.

Using my slide rule, that works out to 2 hours.

Hate to say it but it probably took them a long time to gather all the backup they wanted while at the same time asking the trucker to block the exit with his truck. Wouldn't that put him a dangerous situation?

I think it was 15 minutes but I read or heard somewhere this morning that they cleared the Rest Areas on both sides of the Interstate, had infrared cameras overhead and staked out the surrounding woods before they pounced on the sleeping scum.

I heard him on WLW 700 and he said that it took the cops 10 minutes to get on the scene after he called 911.

The trucker is from Ludlow, Kentucky.
