This is my second post about catching someone doing a crime and leading the police to them (I do not recommend tailing a perp for anyone, there is a great deal of potential risk!).
I was next to a Grand Marquis GS today that was driving like a pensioner. He was also constantly downing a mcdonalds milkshake. Dark shades and a ball cap, looked about 50ish.
He finally is next to me with a guy in a Jeep Cherokee in front of him and I told my fiancee to call the police as this guy is about to throw the half finished milkshake out window. Sure enough about 5 seconds or so later, he throws his milkshake out the window. I got the police on the line and gave them the details. Followed him to a local Costco where he pulled in. I had to leave due to another priority, but was going to swing back around in about 30 mins to the accident site.
Another good samaritan also followed him, but wasn't so great with the details. With my information (vehicle, tag number, tag expiration, a description of the milkshake thrown) they were able to confront him when he came out of the store.
Technically, I think he should have been charged with littering and fleeing a scene, but the police followed him home.
Me and the other person were the only two to report the accident, there were at least 20 others right there when it happened.
No one wants to use their cellphone to help anyone. I am sure many took pics and videos of the situation though.
OK, enough is enough.
