If you didn’t already like dog parks, here’s another reason! I received this message on Twitter last night:
yowza, drama at 11th and park. just saw a girl get robbed but fellow dog parkers and a handful of peds caught the guys in 5
Pretty awesome to see, and good that nobody got hurt too. It looks like it was listed on the MPD arrest report too. Watch out when you mess with dog people.
UPDATE: Here’s more, sent to me via Twitter:
A woman on her bike had money stolen, by what looked like three teenage boys. A handful of people including one on a motorcycle ran after them, caught two of the guys up against the dog park fence. It was quite a scene, and she then felt bad cause they were young and and insisted they let them go. By that time people had called 911 and the cops were arriving. They caught at least one of the boys and were looking for the other two when we left the park. We saw at least one of the boys get put into a police car before we had to leave… Since the peds were able to hold them for that long though, the boys hadn’t gotten far at all by the time the cops were involved.
