The best part of the article on his capture was the accounting of the guy running the liquor store.
Quote:
But Jebran Siddiqui, a clerk at the liquor store, said the arrest was more dramatic than Matus described. Siddiqui said he was working at the shop's drive-through window when he saw "some maniac kind of guy running around outside." About the same time, he saw another man get out of a car with a shotgun.
He said Thompson was heading toward his store and he feared a shootout was in the works -- so he grabbed a gun and walked to the door.
"I was shaking, like shivering and everything, but I wasn't losing my grip," Siddiqui said. "I think he was planning to come inside the store and, I don't know, hold us hostage or something."
The man with a shotgun turned out to be an undercover police officer, and several other officers swarmed in and "took him down pretty brutally" within three feet of the store, Siddiqui said.
Nothing like a little embellishment from a guy sounding like Abu from the Simpson's.
