So i got this guy arrested today...

[FilthyMonkeyRacing]

I work at night from 7pm-7am and i was just pulling into my apartment complex @ around 0720 am and there is this man(6'2-6'3") dressed in all red(red hat,red red shirt, red pants, red shoes and red thong...well maybe not but maybe ) standing in front of the office(that doesnt open till 10am) and he is just looking hard at me and im like ok Mr. Blood dont make me pull my GAT! Anyways i go around the corner and park...gather my items and lock my car and i notice as i am walking to my apartment that he is walking from the office towards me and so i walk slower just to see what he's up to. I walk to the corner of my building and wait a second because he's got swag and dont walk real fast...he walks over to the apartment building adjacent to where i parked and is like 30 ft from my car. So i go inside and get the trash to take it out since im parked just the other side of the dumpster...not sure what that says about my self esteem...i just do it so i only gotta worry about one car next to me instead of two.

I take out the trash and sure enough he is just standing there looking all suspect....he dont look like the chatty type so i say nothing and walk back towards my apartment and stop at the corner and just watch to see if he is trying to jack my car or some one else's or break into them or whatever. Wait like 10 minutes and he is still just standing there like he is waiting on the bus...so im like ok i gotta go to sleep and i dont wanna wake up and my car be gone so i called the apartment 24 hr line for a courtesy patrol , explaining my reason.

Surprisingly the officers show up in like 10 minutes...quit fast considering there normal response time for such trivial things. One officer goes up to him and starts inquiring as to the nature of his presence and i can hear words but not word for word. Then another officer comes around the building he is in front of and see's me looking around the corner like some kind of perpetrator and comes over and ask if i am with guy or the caller that requested the patrol and i responded to the latter and he said ok and went back over to where there is now 4 or 5 officers. So by this point i am quit intrigued and continue watching and one of the officers goes to one of the apartment's that i assume he said that he was visiting and no one was home or they dont answer for the po-po. The officer had called something in over his radio..not sure if it was his name or what but the next thing i know i hear one of the officers saying something about an arrest warrant, not sure if he was asking if he had any or telling him he does, and puts hand cuffs on him and takes him to the car.

Now maybe they just took him in because i never once saw a wallet come out of his pockets so if he had no ID then its my understanding they can detain you until they can establish identification so maybe that was it or maybe he had a warrant, either way i could sleep easy knowing my car and my fellow neighbors vehicles and their personal well being was secured at least for the time being. All i know is people(he was a grown man probably in his late 20's to early 30's) that dont carry ID is usually up to no good or dont want their identity confirmed because of prior, possibly unresolved, infractions of the law. So i did my good deed for the day.

thank you

Eh, I leave (read: forget) my wallet in my backpack all the time. So 9 times out of 10, if I'm not going to school I won't have any ID on me. I'll be 31 in just over a week, so I'm in your stereotyped range. :shrug:

The 20's-30's was a description of THIS individual and not of the type of people that dont carry ID on them.

Forget being the key word in YOUR case. Most the people i know typically have some sort of ID on them when they are out and about. I think the key point in this particualr intstance is that "arrest warrant" was mentioned so i HIGHLY doubt this was simply a case of a unconfirmed identity because if they hadn't been able to confirm his identity either by his co-operation(volunteering his name and the like) or having an ID that onfirmed his ID i dont think he would have been getting a back seat drive to the PD. Even if that was the case that they were unable to confirm his ID i am fairly confident that his "story" wasn't adding up or was unconfirmable and thus his being detained.

Either way i dont feel bad for feeling an obligation to acknowledge a "gut feeling" of the sitaution being less then kosher and being a responsible citizen and aparment complex resident and reporting such a situation.

You definitely did the right thing since the guy was acting suspicious. When my son was in jr. high he was supposed to meet some other kids at a local park for a school video project they were working on. The other kids were running way late so we were sitting in the parking lot for quite a while waiting. after about 30 min the police pulled in to check on us. Turns out a couple of moms at the park with they're kids thought it looked a little suspicious that an older man and young boy were sitting in a car so long and called the police. Had to answer a lot of questions and so did my son but it wasn't much inconvenience. Glad the ladies called it in and had the police check it out, you just never know.

I hope he didn't know you were the one that called him in or he'll probably be back to take a bat to your Miata.

Yea ya gotta wonder if Temple's version of Huggy Bear made a mental note of the situation just before he was incarcerated.....

Post his information. You need to do a background check on the guy to make sure he poses no retaliation threat.

I had a little different experience in Denton. I was walking down the street when I was picked-off by police and questioned because I fit the description of "man in a white t-shirt and black baseball cap". I got to deal with an investigator and two warrants over a six month period, pulled out of work both times and the police told my coworkers that I was a sexual predator. lololol

That's what you get for hanging out in Denton.

Dont have it. Seeing that i was such an integral part part of bringing justice to the law breaker they should have gave me a full police report and briefing

[OZMDD]

Police reports are public record. Go ask for a copy if you want to know who is going to be looking for you.

I lived there for about a year and you really have to "mind your p's and q's" there cuz they have 5 law enforcement agencies there: Denton PD, Sher-riff's Dept., DPS, TWU Police and NTU Police. You couldn't go 24 hrs with seeing multiple police units.

I will be performing further inquiries. Not to worried about my safety..now my defenseless car on the other hand is another story but i do carry full coverage and i wouldnt mind a new paint job

UPDATE: So i talked to the apartment complex Manager and she said that the perpetrator had MULTIPLE arrest warrants. He had previously been a resident and the resident of the apartment that he was "visiting" stated that the perpetrator lived there but management does not show him as a listed resident of that apartment on the agreement, of course that doesn't mean that he wasn't a "house guest" but even if that is true the lease agreement states that house guest staying longer then 2 weeks has to be cleared with management and more then a month they have to be added to lease.(if my memory serves right)

Further she stated that she had given a written release to the PD to ban individuals from the premises and that in a case like this the individual should be banned.

You definitely did the right thing, you never know someone's history until you check. A good example: My best friend's father in law allowed his second wife's daughter, baby daddy and 3 kids live in his house for a few months. They were moving down from Illinois and needed a place to stay while apartment shopping. They overstayed their welcome and caused lots of trouble within his home (unwilling to pay bills, making demands, didn't want to leave), all the while baby daddy refused to look for work.

We started to get suspicious, thinking maybe baby daddy was trying to keep a low profile from his past. About two weeks ago my friend's father in law gets pulled over by the Double Oak PD near his house and two federal marshall cars show up and start questioning him about baby daddy. Turns out he is wanted not only by his local PD in Illinois but also by the FBI. He's been arrested over 50 times since age 13 with charges ranging from aggravated assault, big drug crimes, and even home invasion. Illinois extradicted him yesterday and he's facing upwards of 20 years in the big haus. It's scary to think what he may have done to my buddy and his family.
