Amish buggy, dry wall truck, become involved in police pursuit
The Examiner ^ | 12/7/2007

Posted on 12/07/2007 6:01:13 AM PST by Born Conservative

HONEY BROOK, Pa. (Map, News) - A simple traffic stop in Chester County ended up involving a buggy and a truck before police captured a man wanted on warrants from three counties.

State police say a trooper tried to pull a car over Thursday on Route 322 but the driver took off, drove into a parking lot, abandoned the vehicle and ran through neighborhoods and fields.

He jumped into a moving Amish buggy, but jumped out when troopers closed in and ran into a cornfield. Then a motorist in a dry wall truck offered troopers a lift and they surrounded the man in the cornfield.

Twenty-two-year-old Joshua McElyea, of Narvon, was jailed in lieu of $25,000 bail. Police say he's wanted for theft and criminal mischief in Chester County, burglary and assault in Berks County and a probation violation in Lancaster County.

I need a diagram. The officers ran into the cornfield. Then they ran out of the cornfield and hopped onto a passing truck. Then somehow the truck and the officers went back into the cornfield and “surrounded” the bad guys.

I'm thinking Ravel's Bolero might work.... Slow-paced, yet full of building tension ... and you could time it to coincide with the clip-clop of the hooves.

I think we have a winner! You just have to speed up the film about 300% and have the buggy followed by 10 buxom girls in bikinis. And that works for me. ;-)

Why would the troopers run into a cornfield, when the perp was in the buggy? And what was the perp doing in the buggy - listening to Amish radio?

SHUCKS! Corny, but this perp's unique getaway style got him locked away faster than you can sing 'Bringing in the Sheaves.'

Amish is good as a mile, unless it's on foot and the Keystone State Cops are on a drywall truck.

We know an Amish family in the area. One of the sons of the house has a tricked out Yugo SKS. Then again, they use power tools. The father of the house told me he had “seen the light” with respect to using power tools. :-) They’re not “strict” Amish. :-)
