901[1] Both cars and then get a sergeant to copy getting in an 8[3] at near Ballbrook Road. Caller says somebody broke in and has her boyfriend in a headlock. He's a male, red shirt, gray shorts. Has no idea who the person is. 911[2] makes your copy. Rod Burgess. 5-101, Georgeville, Parkway. I say the copy. That was the only info I had. All right, we're not seeing, I think we could control. I'm putting you on the 8, if you hear that at near Albrook. The caller's husband now has the upper hand. He puts the suspect in a headlock. The suspect vehicle should be parked in the driveway, the Ford Fusion. The plate on that vehicle is John Sam Nora 3974. First responding, I was out of 16 down the road at near 1580. The suspect on that was James Knarrs, who was apparently threatening to blow someone.
