Score one for the good guys

Police say Leonard Ray Isenhart Jr., 18, of 422 W. Sixth Ave., first tried to steal the purse of an unknown elderly woman and was attempting to run through the grocery exit around 2 p.m. when the second woman, who was entering the store, grabbed him. Isenhart then reached for her purse and pushed her to the floor, causing minor injuries to her hands and knees, an incident report said.

Another witness then tackled Isenhart and held him with the help of Walmart employees until Lexington Police Department officers arrived.

Gang tackle if you have to, but don’t let them get away with it. The Lexington, NC Wally World will now be safer, if only for a while. Also notice that this police force doesn’t trot out that “Leave it to the professionals” crap. You have to love life in the South.
