Towed Over: June 2012

Excellent true story from a tow professional who works for ECTTS:

Newsletter: Tow Rescue - 2012

Excerpt from newsletter:

Standing near the officer, I yelled to him asking what I could do. He looked like he was wrestling an alligator as the suspects legs continued to flail. The officer informed me that he needed me to use my radio to call for help because his radio had been busted off in the struggle with the suspect. He yelled

"Call the Chesapeake Police Emergency line and tell them that an officer needs assistance and give them the location."

I shot back and did what he said. From the rear view window of the cab I could still see the officer struggling. I didn't have a weapon and didn't really have any experience arresting people, especially violent people. Still I wanted to try and help the officer. I grabbed my belt off my waist and ran out to help the officer. With the officer holding the legs, I wrapped the belt around the perpetrator's calves and tightened it. As I was doing this, a horde of police cars showed up to help. I was relieved, and grateful that neither of us were hurt. The officer thanked me and I got back in my truck heading toward the impound lot. My shirt was untucked. My hair was ruffled. I knew I was going to get asked some questions when I got back, but it was worth it.
