Two More Firsts

I'm all out of clever post titles at this point, but Monday night was interesting. I got a call from Ronin for an arrest in Hollywood. This one was interesting because the fugitive was actually wanted in Vegas and had bonded out in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Ronin, Reaper, Chopper and I met up in Hollywood and followed the L.A. bondsman to where he was meeting Prince (real first name) for another payment. We dumped our gear and with pistols in waistbands and cuffs in pocket strolled down to Hollywood Boulevard. The bondsman met the guy at a strip club and got the payment, while 3EIFRU lounged on the sidewalk like typical Hollywood mopes (but much classier). They shook hands, and that was our cue. We let the bondsman get around the corner, then moved in on Prince. The bouncer could only step back and raise his hands in a "This is between y'all!" move as four guns came out of nowhere and our boy got his princely head shoved against the wall.

Then Reaper and I hit the road. I've always hated the L.A. to Vegas drive (except the part where I exit California), but it's all good: Reaper drove. We got to Vegas around midnight and met the bondsman, who took custody of our boy. Apparently he'd been seeking him for months, and had hit several girlfriends' places all over Nevada. Leaving the bondsman's office we rolled down the Strip. There's just something about being armed to the teeth in the middle of Sin City...

We grabbed a quick coffee with a local friend of mine and made the long trip back, arriving in the L.A. area just in time for rush-hour traffic.

About the time Reaper and I arrived in Vegas, Rookie was heading out for his first solo arrest. That was apparently uneventful, but marks a milestone in his experience.  So congratulations to Rookie.

Sometimes it needs to be done...

Very productive meeting tonight LA Crew..! It's all good n the hood... Now let's kick some f'n doors in and welcome the Denver Crew right.!!!

LiL' Rickie

Lil' Rickie AKA ADW Boy

Sunday afternoon we received a text message from Ronin that we had a new file and he was on his way back to L.A. We were told to stand by since we would be starting on the file as soon as he got back.

Sunday evening Ronin, Chopper, Rookie and I all met at my house. We geared up jumped in the 'Burbie and headed out to Palmdale/Lancaster area to start smoking this guy out. We were filled in on the details on the way out the to rendezvous with Mad Dog and Diesel. Charges: 245 (A) (1) P.C., otherwise known as assault with a deadly weapon; not a firearm. To me this meant that this guy was gonna be "fun" to deal with. We
went to several different houses that night: the defendant's girlfriend, his baby mama (who's dad is a cop), his friends house etc. We covered every possible place he could have been that night. When we arrived at the last house we learned we missed him by about 30 minutes. Not bad for our first real night looking for this guy. Next day was MLK Day, so businesses were closed.

Bright and early Monday morning we headed out to see his current Sugar Mama in Seal Beach. Chopper and I were covering the back to make sure he wasn't going to run if he was there. Ronin made entry into the house with Redneck and Rookie, a few minutes later I was called into the apartment as well. I walked in to find
some 10 year old kid hyperventilating like we were ransacking his house. I looked around and saw Ronin talking to the kid's mom. We searched the house to ensure he wasn't there. Sanchez' sugar mama called him to try and talk some sense into him but he wasn't having it. We wrapped up and returned to our vehicles. Just as we got into the truck Ronin's phone rang. Ever hear the saying "Shake a tree, find a monkey?" (I heard that from Ronin.) it was Lil Rickie calling to find out how to fix his situation. ---redacted for OpSec purposes---

Tuesday afternoon Redneck met with Sanchez, he had no idea we were waiting for him. Once we confirmed his identity, he was given a matching pair of bracelets and a complimentary ride down to IRC ( Mens Central Jail) in my truck. Another notch on the belt. POW!!!!!

Lil Rickie

This husky sumbitch rahchiah (sound it out, I know that's a new language for some of y'all) is Lil Rickie, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, possession with intent to distribute, and a couple other things I disremember right now. Another pretty easy grab yesterday for 3EIFRU. Most of the team went out to the high desert Sunday night and hit several likely hiding places, missing him by just 30 minutes at one of them. I was otherwise occupied, but ended up checking an indemnitor's address, and came up empty.

We hit the indemnitor's apartment Monday, scared the crap out of her (not really intentional, but still), and got a call from Lil Rickie not ten minutes later.

---redacted for OpSec reasons---

Then while I was talking to him Rebel, Diesel, Rookie, and Chopper came up behind and made the arrest. Turns out he'd been in L.A. anyway, so the drive was kind of a waste of time. But all's well that ends well. A relatively quick surrender later we were on the way home in L.A. traffic.

By the way, you meet the most interesting people in IRC...
