Small, irate woman brings in alleged truck thief
By THE CANADIAN PRESS
VERNON, B.C. - Members of the Vernon RCMP detachment in British Columbia's North Okanagan are used to seeing crooks hauled through their doors.
But they aren't used to seeing a suspect dragged in, almost by his ear, after being corralled by a small, irate woman furious about the theft of her pickup truck.
Mounties admit they had trouble keeping straight faces as they rescued the suspect from his captor early Friday morning.
The woman says she was sitting in a nearby car, waiting for her truck to warm up, when the man jumped into the pickup and sped away.
She followed in the car and, when the suspect realized he couldn't shake his tenacious tail he ditched the pickup - a block away from the Vernon RCMP detachment.
That's when the truculent truck owner collared the man who, it turns out, was not sober.
