The old saying, "No news is good news," could be amended to, "No helicopters is good news." First the stranded golfers and then the victim discovered under a slab both brought news 'copters to north Garland.

Another incident almost a week ago caught the attention of a lot of residents in the Firewheel Pkwy/Pleasant Valley neighborhoods.

Here's how the Police Department's Deputy Chief Charles Rene described it:

 

This was a road rage incident that started at Lavon Hwy and Castle Dr involving a vehicle occupied by three individuals. One pointed a gun and fired a shot. A Patrol car spotted the suspect vehicle on Country Club Rd and Pleasant Valley. They followed the car and conducted a Felony Stop in the parking lot of the Mobil Station at Firewheel Parkway and Pleasant Valley. One of the subjects fled on foot. K-9 Units and the Department of Public Safety Air 101 searched for the suspect who had fled into the Villages of Valley Creek neighborhood. Although they searched for a long time, that individual got away; however, his identity is known. Criminal Investigation Division was called and responded. The other two individuals went to Jail for warrants, public intoxication, and investigation of Aggravated Assault.

 

I don't have an update on the third individual.
