Catch But Not Release

Domestic violence suspect Paul Reinhardt is attended to by Spokane Police on the eastside of Latah Creek Monday morning. Police were chasing Reinhardt when he abandoned his car at 27th and Inland Empire Way. He ended up crossing the cold waters of Latah Creek. After police arrested him, the Spokane Fire Department did a technical rescue to bring him up a cliff. Story here. (Colin Mulvany/SR)

    I realize this guy jumped into the creek, which might explain the shirtless-ness, but whenever you see these guys, they’re shirtless. What is it with running from the cops and being shirtless? I mean.. really? Is it faster to run shirtless or something?

    Toad, if you’re gonna make the news, might as well show off your best assets.

    Actually, Toad, I think he was just scared shirtless.

    Nice observation Toad. I think I might have the answer…

    When I was a young 20-something I got busted for drinking and driving. I was just barely over the legal limit, but over just the same. After the cop cuffed me, he grabbed my arm to walk me to his vehicle, and my natural reaction was to pull away from him (stoopid move). Next thing I knew I was sprawled out on the hood of his car, and my brand new $30 shirt was gone.

    I think cops actually collect them…
