What would you do if you saw a duck pacing back and forth and quacking nervously? (We'd probably be really confused -- what's a duck doing in our living room??) Fortunately, the police and animal control officers in the video above were able to make sense out of the situation, and rescue all of the duck's ducklings, which were trapped in a sewer.
Looks like someone didn't get the memo that what you post on Facebook can be seen by lots of people—and some of them may not like it very much.
*****UPDATE****
After an interview with witnesses, police located the vehicle that the suspect was seen in. A gray 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe. The police have the suspect in custody.
We've been covering this story all day of man who had been burglarizing homes in the surrounding area. The man was on foot while the cops were hunting him down after many residents had been calling 911 on reports theft. The burglar forced entry into a residents home where local authorities surrounded the home. After a 7 hour standoff with APD and SWAT the man surrendered.
Amarillo police are currently in a standoff in southwest Amarillo near Amarillo High School. Police were responding to a burglary call this morning at 10:15am in the Puckett residential area of the city at the 3500 block of Danbury St. A suspect in one or more of the burglaries ran into a home on the 3500 block of Carlton. Police believe to have seen the man carrying a handgun as he made entry to the house. Access to the neighborhood remains restricted as the situation continues to unfold.
Get ready for a night of jabs and uppercuts between police officers and the firefighters.
Police are suppose to be respectable and trust worthy. But what happens when they 'rap' about criminal activities? Well, they get suspended. Dallas Police Lieutenant, Regina Smith has been suspended due to violent rap lyrics.
With Interstate 40 running right through the middle of Amarillo, you can bet your paycheck that there are people smuggling drugs and other things right through our city on a daily basis! So it's not a shock when Amarillo Police Officers make a routine traffic stop, and it transforms into something much greater than that. Like finding methamphetamine in a car that's well over $300,000!
After much debate about cell phone usage while driving, the ordinance is now going into effect. Beginning Thursday, January 3rd if you are caught on your cell phone, you will be pulled over.
I was getting flooded with calls yesterday about an armed man running through Walmart at 45th & Coulter in Amarillo, stemming from a police chase by the Amarillo Police Dept due to a stolen vehicle that refused to pull over for police. The end result, suspect, Miles Allen Minor, a 30 year old white male of Amarillo, was booked into the Randall County Jail on multiple charges. Charges include unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, evading arrest in a motor vehicle, failure to identify/false identification, tampering with a government document, fraudulent use of identifying information, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
If you remember, back in 2011 on Polk St. in downtown Amarillo, a shooting took place, where police shot and killed Claudio Trujillo as they opened fire on his SUV while he was trying to flee the scene (video above). A civil rights lawsuit took place, and today a verdict awarded $760,000 to the Trujillo family.
A New Mexico state police officer stunned a 10-year-old boy with a Taser after he refused to wash the officer's car at school for career day.
