With my Expedia saying only "2.8 miles", it musta been a .45. ;-)

Argyle Messenger hit the mailbox today. It sez the BG is Robert Christopher Sanders, 38, of Rockwall. It said he remained in gray bar hotel on $25K for this burglary and another 10K for one in Ellis County.

Records show he'd been in the Denton hotel back in March of 2004 for "displaying a fake vehicle inspection" and Mary G. Wanna. Rockwall county records showed he was a guest there in '04, '05, '06. Seems to me the man got lucky not winding up in the obituary column in Feb. '07.

Will: Ya sure that Google search was not based upon I-35E (in Lewisville) instead of I-35W? The house location seems to be not too far from Robson Ranch, an "active adult" community on southwest edge of Denton. "Argyle", however does cover a lot of real estate. While our range is on the opposite corner of "Argyle" from the shooter and is in an unincorporated area, our mail route is still required as "Argyle 76226".

What I found using Expedia:

' Just in from a CHL renewal class. I sorta had one eye open for our Precinct 4 day-shift Constable Deputy to be at range tonight so I could question him of more detail. I'm curious to see how our new DA's office feels about this one ...

If the original incident happened in Argyle proper, I guess it's only maybe a 5 to 7 mile drive west on 407 to 35-W, so the car may have "bled out" pretty quickly ...

Some of y'all may recall the incident within the last year out on interstate near Weatherford. DPS Super-Shamu pulled up alongside driver's door of hijacked tractor/trailer rig so Trooper in passenger seat could use long gun to put multiple "quartering away" shots through radiator. That truck bled out real quickly ...

shot to radiator

Cops nab bold burglar
A burglar was caught in the act by an Argyle resident on Tuesday.

Police were called to a residence in the 800 block of Knob Hill Ct. around 9:00 a.m., where the homeowner found 37-year-old Christopher Sanders allegedly in the process of stealing his computer. The resident attempted to hold Sanders at gunpoint until police arrived, but the bandit bolted for his getaway vehicle.

As Sanders drove off, the homeowner shot one round from his handgun into the truck's radiator. The resident then followed Sanders to the I-35W and FM 407 interchange, where Sanders' vehicle gave out. After a short foot pursuit, officers from Argyle, Northlake and the Pct. 4 Constable's Office apprehended Sanders. He was then booked into the Denton County Jail on a burglary charge.
