SAN ANGELO, TX — (SAPD Press Release) The San Angelo Police Department’s Patrol Division and Anti-Crime Unit were involved in multiple foot pursuits during their recent tour of duty.
The first pursuit began around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday night when members of the department’s anti-crime unit stopped a vehicle for displaying fictitious license plates in the 2300 block of W. Loop 306. The suspect fled the traffic detention and ran northbound across the Loop where he was subsequently taken into custody in the parking lot of the Roadway Inn. A records check on the suspect, Jacob C. Smart, showed he had eight warrants. This incident resulted in additional charges for enhanced evading arrest/detention, two counts of possession of controlled substance and failure to identify giving false/fictitious information.
The second pursuit began just after 9:45 p.m. when a subject fled a traffic stop near E. 25th and N. Chadbourne. The subject made it one block before he was taken into custody by officers. Jose A. Reyes, 45, had warrants for bail jumping and forgery. This incident resulted in an additional charge off evading arrest detention.
The third and fourth pursuits began around 12:25 a.m. when members of the ACU attempted to make contact with two male juveniles believed to be engaged in criminal activity at commercial buildings located in the 500 block of W. Beauregard. The juveniles fled on foot and officers gave chase. One juvenile was tackled in Santa Fe Park after he refused multiple commands to surrender. The second juvenile was taken into custody by patrol officers at the corner of Twohig and David. This incident resulted in arrests for evading arrest detention and citations for curfew violation. Both juveniles, age 13, were transported to the Tom Green County Juvenile Justice Center.

Imagine the beginning of your adult life as a hallway with open doors of opportunity. When you decide to adorn yourself with a throat tattoo...a door closes.

PermalinkI have a neck tat... Which door closed... The job opportunity at Buffalo Wild Wings? Maybe. Usually, the people that get tatted up are one's that weren't going to succeed where those "closed doors" lead to anyway. We still get along in life... I used to be a thug, but that was a long time ago, I don't have the money for round trips to San Antonio to get them removed, so I live with the war paint of a different man on my body.
In some ways, when I got my tat's, I knew that people would look at me differently, and they do... I still feel like I did about them when I went under the gun, if you don't accept me at face value, then you don't have the kind of values I would like to associate myself with anyway.

PermalinkSurely the neck tattoo and perhaps others, not knowing what all you have, has been an impediment to a good deal of contact with other really good folks simply because of the fear factor. They'd just rather not take the chance to try to know you.
Regarding the 3rd and 4th pursuits, I too, run like hell whenever members of ACU (Abilene Christian University) approach............ :)

PermalinkThat made me laugh... I don't like to see the Mormon's and Jehovah's Witnesses approach, I would much rather face the ACU (Anti- Crimes Unit).
