Cuff 'Em And Stuff 'Em

So, today I recieved a phone call from my friend, Darcy. Nothing out of the ordinary there, she just wanted to know if I wanted to go for a walk. This is very common because we live very close to each other, so walking around downtown is one of our favorite things to do. After almost two hours, she needed to go home. As I was walking back to my house, I decided I'd better cross the road. So I'm standing on the side of the road, watching the cars pass, and waiting for the opportunity to run across.

A car flies around the corner, and the first thing I notice is it's swerving all over the road, and it's coming right at me. The first thing I think to do is run backward, into some guys yard. It didn't hit me (thank goodness), but a part flew off of it that almost hit me, and if I wouldn't have run into the yard, it would have hit me. As the car was speeding away, I noticed it was missing one of it's back tires. I thought it was very strange, and I was almost in tears because of what a close call it was.

Eventually, I get the nerve to cross the street again and continue walking. Up ahead of me, I see a police car parked and a police man was speaking to a woman who was standing outside of her minivan, and a part of the car was next to her too. I didn't exactly hear what she said, but she was basically just telling the policeman about this car. She had a few police cars around her, so I think it might have hit her, and I think she said it did but I don't really remember her words.

Once I get home, I tell my mom the whole story and she dialed for the police, talked to some lady for a miute, then handed me the phone. Turns out, they already arrested this person. Pretty crazy, huh? I don't know exactly what happened, but I thought that was pretty insane!
