Living in the middle of it. They are saying they have him surrounded in Longwood Gardens (a 1,000 acre botanical garden started by Pierre DuPont). I live about a mile from there and they have police in cars/on foot every 50-100 yards along the perimeter. At night they have all their headlights and spots pointed at the property but all it takes is one officer looking down at his phone and the guy could get out. They have had airplanes and helicopters and drones circling. Tonight it is storming here so that will make it potentially easier to escape containment. Before the storm, the neighboring landowner brought in a combine to clear some sorghum fields bordering the property with police support.
I cannot figure out why they don’t just go in and have officers 3-4 feet apart and sweep one end to the other. The property perimeter is .9 miles on 1 side, .9 miles. 1.1 miles on the third side and .7 miles on the 4th side. They say they have 350-400 law enforcement on site. He is not known to be armed.
You can buy IR filters for a smart phone. You’d think the cops would have high-$$ IR gear.l they could slap on a drone.
“Before the storm, the neighboring landowner brought in a combine to clear some sorghum fields bordering the property with police support.”
What did they do with the sorghum they cleared? If it was harvested prematurely, will the farmer be recompensed?
