Robber Pulls Gun on Taxi Driver Just as Cop Pulls up Behind Him

From the robber's perspective, the timing couldn't have been worse. The suspect got into a cab in Reading, Pennsylvania. Then he pulled a gun out on the driver and demanded his money.

At that moment, by sheer coincidence, a Berks County Sheriff's deputy pulled up behind the taxi.

The robber noticed and decided it was time to leave. This got the attention of Deputy Terry Ely, who drew his own sidearm and arrested the robber. He has been charged with robbery and making terroristic threats.

OK, I'll take your word for it. I've spent my entire life being ridiculed for saying possum instead of opossum, so it's a breath of fresh air to be corrected in the other direction!

With the males being so confrontational when they come in contact with each other by barking & hissing and giving each other hell, I see how they got their name.

I always find it interesting that you get these 'celebrity' species in the animal kingdom like lions and tigers, and there so many species that people have just never heard of.
