Florida fugitives apprehended in Colorado after citizens alert law enforcement



A very cool arrest was made yesterday on Interstate 25 about 150 miles south of Denver. These three Florida siblings had been on the run after shooting at a Florida officer, then robbing a bank in Georgia. A Colorado state trooper was working a second job at a construction site. He just happened to have with him a tire-deflating device called a stop-stick. He spread them out strategically along the highway, causing the 100 mph chase to come to a sweet end as the trio hurtled the guard rail. The siblings had been shooting at the officers with this AK 47 for which they "tried" to purchase ammunition at a Colorado Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart employee and some other citizens alerted law enforcement.
