I talked to a murder suspect...

[running coach]

...after he nearly hit me with the car he was driving.

On my way to my coaching job this morning, just tooling along when an oncoming car started drifting over the line towards me.

I was lucky that a driveway was immediately accessible(rural road) and I made a quick swerve. He followed, obviously fixated on my headlights. A brave telephone pole gave it's life by intervening.

The impact sheared off the pole and the car spun almost a full 180 before coming to rest partly blocking the lane. After checking on the driver, I called 911. Meanwhile, he crawled out the passenger door, appearing to be in shock or high(or both). About this time a passing firefighter stopped to assist, prompting an agitated response from the driver.

He started babbling about warrants and not going to jail and asking if we'd be cool if he ditched his three eighty (.380 pistol). At the first sounds of approaching sirens, he fled.

Fire and EMS were first to arrive followed by County Sheriff a few minutes after.
Description given including the possible firearm(It was never clear if the gun was in the car or on the person). Highway Patrol showed a few minutes after that. Soon after, the rifles came out and that's when i found out he was wanted on a murder in a neighboring county.

Manhunt ensues with dogs and helicopters and surrounding intersections blocked off. Eventually got reports of attempts to beg rides and seen cutting through properties.

Spent almost 3 hours on scene as I needed to wait for officers from the other county to interview the two of us.

So how did your 4th start?
