The Cops Had Me Surrounded!
Last night I played a music gig at the Flamingo Hotel Casino.
On the way home I stopped at 7/11 to pick up some oil for my car.
There was only one car in the parking lot I wasn't in the store more
than 2 minutes. I started walking back to my car which was at the
gas pump when suddently...
Wam! Sirens Blowing! Cop cars everywhere! I am surrounded by cop cars
and police officiers with gun drawn! At least a dozen flew into the 7/11
parking lot in seconds. I just stood still to see what was going on.
There was another guy at the gas pump pumping gas. Then 3 more cop
cars came from 2 different direction at Desert Inn and Eastern, directly
in front of the 7/11.
Cops came out with guns drawn! Then on the speaker, "Get out of
the car with your hands up", now!" They guy at the gas pump ask
me, "what should we do?" I said don't even move! Cops were all over the
parking lot, guns everywhere, arresting about 5-7 people.
This all happened in about 45 - 60 seconds...
I really likes those shorts!
And how was your weekend?

Have a Great Day,

Wow Rob!!!!! Scary and cool simultaniously….. Could you send us links with any footage on this incident that may have appeared on the news? Sounds like it would be “newsable”…..

Hi Michael,
It was definitly newsable but we looked the next day on TV and newspaper and it never even made it to print! Yeh, it was scary.
