All because of this...

Escaped Convict

My mom wasn't able to get home until almost 5am because of this mess. lol

That happens around here on rare occasions with a prison being located about 20 miles away, but I never remember there being a lock down around my area.

Scary stuff.

We have a High Security prison about 15 miles away, which has had some infamous characters through it's doors, but we've never had anything like a lock down.

Lock down? Where do you lot live? surely you can make your own dicision?

Haha no Indent, lock-down is the law's decision and good luck to you if you try to change it. When they say no one in and no one out, they mean it. I can honestly say in the 20 some-odd years we've lived in this neighborhood, this is the first time we've ever had this happen. We've had certain streets blocked off before, but never a lock-down. People were parked at the 7-11 across the street waiting to get back home. Cops were telling everyone that if they attempted to get in to the neighborhood, they risked arrest. Insane!!

But the kicker is they never did catch the guy. hahaha

That's ridiculous. Glad no one is hurt. Are they still on the look out? Or are thy just waiting for him to turn up?

Probably this part......

.......Deputies say that Ware is likely armed and dangerous......

....had the law a bit cautious, or don't want to be sued if they didn't lock down and something happened. Seemed the dude didn't want to get caught and go back behind bars.

Hmmm, I have a friend named Ware

BeWare

In a video game I have the best place to hide from the police when wanted is to actually hide inside the police station. Maybe they should look for him there.

LOL well they did catch him the other day. Apparently he was found in the apartment complex that's behind my neighborhood...go figure. lol

Whoa! Good thing for the lock down then to keep LuLu safe and sound!

Yeah, they said he was "armed and dangerous". I forget what guns he had on him when they caught him. So the lockdown was indeed necessary. Of course I was the one that kept walking outside to go look at all the cop cars and stuff. Plus, I had fun messing with the police helicopter. They don't like shining their light on the wrong person. haha Either way, it was definitely an adventure.
