Don’t Do The Crime If You Can’t Do The Time

One of my favorite T.V. shows growing up was Baretta and that’s where I first heard the saying “Don’t Do The Crime if You Can’t Do The Time” that phrase ran through my mind when I read this story out of Washington State. A bowhunter may face charges after he shot a suspected prowler in the butt after a brief chase.

According to police, Schwingdorf armed himself with his hunting bow and a broadhead arrow, chased the man to Cliff’s Hilltop Market, about 3 1/2 blocks away. The man refused to stop, and Schwingdorf shot him with the arrow.

Police said Galen Louis Crayne, 32, of Longview later sought medical attention at St. John Medical Center for an arrow wound to his left buttock. Crayne underwent surgery at the hospital Monday morning to remove the sharp-bladed broadhead tip, and his injuries were not life-threatening, Thompson said. The hospital listed him in satisfactory condition Monday afternoon.

No one had been arrested in the case and there was no hold on Crayne Monday morning, Thompson said, but the investigation is continuing.

Well if the guy was a prowler in my view he got what he deserved. Hopefully the archery was correct in his assessment of what was going down. If he was I don’t see why he would face charges they should make him the captain of the neighborhood watch.
