So, ATF and DEA has been in town just taking over. It all started a few weeks ago when a known crac head, Alfonso, burnt his apartment to the ground. He managed to get an apartment across the street from me rent free since his old apartment burnt down. Well, the day Alfonso moved in, I was out of town. It turned out that while Alfonso was cleaning out the basement, he found a homemade grenade. The stupid white boy that lived in the apartment before him had a hobby that is a little illegal. So, ATF comes in town, takes the grenade, and blows it the hell up in a field nearby. When I got home, I found out about it and got to see the pics and damage from the grenade. It was a campbells soup can lined with shotgun shells, and packed with about a pound of C4, with a grenade pull pin stuck in the middle. But anyways, a few days later, DEA comes into town. They arrested 11 people. When they released press, turns out they have been investigating these people since 1997. Do you realize how many charges they could stack on you in 14 years? And in our town of 20,000 people, this was big news. I just find it amazing that DEA can be doing this for so long, and we as local law enforcement never picked up on it...man these guys are good! So...today I was fast asleep, due to the fact I have to work tonite. When all of a sudden I'm awaken by a very large explosion. I get up and look outside, and see city electric by a light pole. First instinct is they done blew something up. But, I look over and see people running out of the "bomb" apartment. So, i grab my gun and go outside...but before I can realize whats going on, I see ATF guys coming from everywhere. Now, I'm out in the parking lot, with a gun in plain site, I'm in plain clothes, and no badge. Man, that was the fastest I ever turned my white ass around and went back inside. I could just see me being arrested or shot b/c these ATF guys didn't know who I was. Long story short, another bomb was found in the apartment, and somehow ATF found out about it before anyone else. They took it, notified our on duty guys, and blew the shit up behind our apartments. I guess, this will be a pretty exciting time coming soon...with DEA and ATF coming into our small town, I'm guessing alot of things are gonna be going on. Its gonna be a loooooong summer!
