At 6:40 I really need to get out of bed and out the door. Naturally I grab my phone and make sure I didn't miss any breaking news like Dunkaroos bringing back the chocolate grahams like we all wanted or Taylor Swift dropping 5 more albums. So after checking Snapchat, Instagram & Buzzfeed, I made my way to the text messages.
I have GOT to work on being more literate in the morning. I looked out my own window and was pleased to see the standoff was ongoing. I'm a terrible person, I know. Luckily Emily is also a bad person and when I got to her room she had her window propped open slightly so we could hear.
From our 3rd floor window we listened as the cops and firefighters handled the situation on the 1st floor. From years of Criminal Minds and Law & Order: SVU I really feel like we could have helped but you know what they say, don't be a hero.
I did let my boss know that I would be late or non-existent at work that day.
Just Apex things.
I made a note on my phone so I could remember all the details in case my investigative journalism skills were needed. According to expert witness Emily Burke who wishes to remain anonymous, a woman ran outside yelling for help around 5:30 AM. By 6:15 cops had arrived along with firefighters carrying axes.
Nothing makes me feel safer than a 45 minute response time in the freaking suburbs. I guess DIY is for craft projects AND crisis response.
The unsub - well I guess we do know who he is - the sub is explaining what happened to the cops, the cops are saying they just want to investigate (get in line buddies). The woman is standing by the police car. I wish I could recall more but taking pictures would have been in incredibly poor taste.
So here they are. Faces covered to protect the innocent (& guilty).
Pictured for credibility: Emily's blanket. Y'all are just gonna have to take my word for that.
After some back and forth, the guy sprints out and we hear a policeman call for backup and say the suspect ran around back. This is the Apex version of invading Russia in the winter because all we have back there is a tiny pond that is a concerning shade of teal.
The woman gets her baby, in this picture you can see Mako's ear in the corner because he was also a concerned citizen.
The police quickly return to the front of the building with this guy handcuffed, elbows bloodied. He was wearing plaid board shorts so...guilty.
As the police put him in the back of the police car this man is literally saying they should uncuff him because he's not going anywhere. Sir.
He also says that he has been nothing but cooperative. Disagree.
Of course Detective Emily was able to locate his arrest report later that day. Assault on a female and resisting a public officer. Also he's younger than us which I feel conflicted about. Like he's out here making news. We will save that for my therapist.
Now I know what you're thinking...how can she be blogging about this when Big Time Rush got back together? And also, what did the apartment management do during all of this?
Not to worry, we received a very thorough email that afternoon.
It was about dos & don'ts for the apartment decks. Now in this man's defense, it DOESN'T say that instigating a hostage situation is a patio don't. I'll give him that.
The moral of the story is that everyone lived and that couple is now back together and still living below us so...more to come? Also I am wondering if bail was his Father's Day present.
