LAst night, we had a homicide. Suspect description is fairly detailed: new model Ford Excursion, Blue in color, grey interior, deep gold spoke rims with low profile tires containing two hispanic males one ina wife beater. Now it usually doesn't get any better than that on a drive by. Ten minutes later new guy starts getting on the radio going, did it have striping, did it have an antenea ball, etc. etc. Finally someone asks him to get to his point. He is out on a 2000 Ford Excursion, blue in color with Gold Spoke rims about 7 blocks from the shooting scene but he is not sure he should go our on it because it might not be the right one 
Then later, North Las Vegas is in pursuit waaaaaaaaaaay up in the North end of the valley. A patrol Sgt. get on the air and asks if there are some units close that can try to block some intersections as this guy is running about 90 on a four lane commercial road. We are getting our behinds kicked so nobody is clear. One unit gets on and says he will be in route but I notice his area is about 10 miles South of where the pursuit is, about 7 miles north of me. I figured he must have been at dinner or something out of his area. About two minutes later, here he comes flying by me on my call going balls to walls headed North bound which is the same direction the pursuit is going.
Needless to say, the pursuit was over long before he got anywhere near it. It's so hard to believe now that we all were that , what's the word I want,... stupid at some point in our lives.
