KHOU-11 apparently caught a man robbing one of the pay stations located in a downtown parking lot:
A KHOU photographer taped Yevik’s lot in the wee hours of Friday morning and recorded video of a man standing in front of the cash slots.
Look closely and it appears the man is jiggling a wire, possibly to get to the money inside.
While the nightlife downtown continued, the photographer confronted the man.
“I’m with Channel 11 and we saw you robbing that box. We got you on TV bro,” the cameraman said.
“Good,” the man replied as he got on his bicycle.
The photographer then asked, “How come you were doing that?”
He didn’t say much and it was obvious he didn’t have a car parked in the lot.
If the photographer was able to catch the man in the act, why couldn’t Houston police?
There was one officer in the area and an empty police car in the lot where the incident was taped from.
Houston Police Department spokesperson Sergeant Nate McDuell said they have limited sets of eyes, which just can’t be everywhere at once.
We hope that’s just a really bad paraphrase, and that the department’s spokesmen aren’t starting to sound like Chief Hurtt (who recently called the Pierce Elevated the Pierce Elevator).
