BETTER IDEA.

LIKE YOU SAID, MARQUES HEATH IS

FOR MAYBE 30 MINUTES NOW, 15,
20 MINUTES I DO KNOW OR AT
LEAST I WAS TOLD THAT MARQUES
GOT OUT OF THIS VEHICLE HERE
THEN MADE A RUN FOR IT.
THAT'S WHEN I'M TOLD THAT A K-9
CAUGHT UP WITH MARQUES AS HE
WAS -- AS HE WAS TRYING TO GET
WAY FROM POLICE.
THERE IS ANOTHER SCENE UP THE
STREET HERE.
+@TO BE HONEST, THAT IS WHERE H
WAS LIKELY APPREHENDED.
