There was a hit and run in Warner Robins about 2 a.m. Thursday morning! What was awful was that the person hit was one of our local police officers! He was looking for a stolen Yukon and out of the blue that Yukon t-bones him!! The car thiefs ran on foot. The officer was taken to the hospital and as far as I know he has a broken pelvis, really hurt shoulder and leg. Darren wasn't working that shift and due to lack of people he had to go in on Thursday night. 
The car thiefs had previously stolen a mustang that evening and because of matching fingerprints they were able to catch the first guy Thursday night (a 15 year old!)
Last night they were able to get the second guy (16 yrs. old!) They are both being held in the JuV center. I hope they don't get off on this just because they are under age. 
Please keep this officer and his family in your prayers. He had been a police officer somewhere else but he'd only been with our department for a few months.

Oh my goodness! That's awful! There's a lot of crazy things happening in WR! We'll be praying for that officer.
What a couple of punks!
Hopefully, they will learn a hard lesson in jail.
BTW, Darren is in our thoughts and prayers as he puts his life on the line everyday. He's a hero.
This raises my blood pressure. You have just encapsulated why I want to work in law enforcement so badly. I want people like that off of the street. I don't care how old they are, they don't deserve to walk around with the rest of us. GRRRRR....
