This week Blake has finally wrote his first ticket, made his first arrest, and his first TV appearance!WOW what a week!
Day shift is pretty slow but this week has been a great week for Blake.
On Tuesday early afternoon they took a call for ABC Wrecker company. Some guys semi got towed and he came to pick it up and they told him to wait while they gathered the paperwork together. The guy didn't want to wait so he just went and found his truck on his own and took it. The owner ran after him and ended up getting ran over. Blake didn't actually get to arrest the guy since he got the call to get the report at the company. bummer. anyways here is the link to the story and at 35 seconds in you will see Blake on TV and again at 1:09. I happened to be watching the news and saw him! kinda cool!
He has been dealing with more accidents than anything. He had to write a lady a ticket for careless driving from left to right. just a heads up if one of the parties in the accident doesn't admit to being at fault someone will get ticketed to go along with the report.
His first arrest just happened to be at our old stomping grounds from 10 years ago...yep our old high school, good old Fossil Ridge. He had to arrest a 19 year old (must have been held back) for being in possession of marijuana. He had 5 baggies and it looked like he was going to sell it but they couldn't prove it. He got to handcuff him and drive him downtown to the jail and book him and do all the paperwork.
Blake has a pretty lazy FTO and he was starting to worry that he wouldn't get a chance to do any of this. I am glad he is slow and not doing anything dangerous but at the same time I want him to get experience. He wont always be training and better to do it now than by himself. Just so no one worries he will always have a partner they just don't drive together.
