OT:

My kids are on the way home on the bus. Looks like those guys had no weapons, just weed & alcohol. They caught another guy but the driver is still on the loose. They will get him, they have his truck and probably know where he lives.

UPDATE:

Virginia State Police have ended their active search for a driver who ran away from a traffic stop in Afton.

Sgt. G.L. Miller said police still are investigating the incident and expect that charges will be filed against the driver. Police were able to catch up with a passenger who also fled the scene.

At 9:22 a.m., Miller said, a trooper tried to stop a red 1980 Ford F-150 driving on Route 151. Authorities said the vehicle turned and went to the top of Bland Wade Lane, which is a private drive, before the driver and a passenger fled from the truck. Miller said the driver allowed the truck to roll back into the police car, causing about $1,200 in damage to the cruiser.

Miller said it’s common for people to run away from traffic stops, although police don’t usually call in a helicopter and a tracking dog to find them, as they did during this incident. He said state police had no reason to believe that he was armed and dangerous, although authorities found a small amount of marijuana and indications that alcohol might have been involved while looking into the incident.

I feel so much better.
