Hold up in Holden.

Sorry, no photo on this one, but we had big excitement on BB this week.
I was on my way into town on Wednesday at about 9:30 and passed a police car with his siren and lights going. An ambulance was in front of the police car heading out toward our house. I headed back home around 12:15 to find both side streets on either side of our house shut down with police road blocks and guns at the ready. I saw two helicopters in the air in a search pattern, one which was in our back yard flying very low. I decided to go over to Tom and Diane's house to see what the heck was going on. I was stopped at the corner of our property by a police officer asking me what I was doing, and where was I going. As it turns out 2 bank robbers dumped and burned a stolen car on the road behind our house. It took police two days to find them, but they were caught on Friday.

  1. I thought you moved to MO to get away from the dangers of city life?

    Hmmm. After hearing this story, maybe you should mow the meadow. Fewer places for bank robbers to hide!
