Well, crazy things happen at my work. Today was a pretty normal busy day. One of the security guards had asked my co-worker to send out an email telling everyone to lock their cars because there was a convict on the loose. We kind of laughed it off because this particular security guard tends to be overzealous. My co-worker went ahead and sent out an email about being vigilant since we had some theft problems anyway.
Then we forgot about it and went on about our day.
That was 10ish. Then at 3:30 I get the report. At 3:00 the security guards switched shifts so the new crew had just come on the job. A man had come up to security and asked them to use the phone. He used it and then left. One of the security guards watched him because she was a bit suspicious. Then she saw him climb up one of the trees that line the driveway at work. So she called the police.
We are in a small town so the entire police force shows up. Five police officers surround the tree with guns pointing up at the guy. They finally get him down and throw cuffs on him. So apparently, this guy escaped from jail, hijacked a car, and had been running around the country all day. They found crack and crack pipe on him which really isn't surprising considering he climbed up a tree in plain view of our security.
Anyway, it was weird. I am glad he didn't do anything to any of our employees. I looked to see if it was in the local news tonight, but it wasn't. I thought it was pretty big news or at least it was was exciting to me. Oh well.
That's it.
