We
came outside after the church service at First Baptist in Turlock to find a couple fellows rummaging through
some of the vehicles. Several of the men
started chasing them up the street.
Larry cornered one of the men behind the doughnut shop a block
away. The police were called and the men
were arrested.
Several months later Larry was called to testify in
court. I suppose the lawyer was trying
to make it seem Larry was prejudiced against one of the robbers over the
other. The lawyer asked Larry, “Why did
you choose to chase the gentleman you chased and not the other?” Larry answered without hesitation, “Because
this one was fat and I knew I could catch him.”
The judge sitting at the bench that day was Jeremy
Cook’s dad, someone Larry had known all his life. Larry’s answer caught him by surprise. The judge laughed and snorted at Larry’s
response. Everyone in the courtroom
chucked. He gave Larry a parting smirk
as he stepped down from the witness stand.
Oh…the memories!
