EXCLUSIVE: Citizen Chases McDonald's Robber As He Speeds Through Columbia, Wrecks His Car

From scanner and eyewitness reports:
A woman helped police apprehend a robbery suspect after a high-speed chase that passed through Columbia this morning.

Stacie K. Landis of Maytown stopped at the 24-hour Centerville McDonald's on her way to work at about 5:30 a.m. and noticed employees scrambling and shouting about an emergency. An employee pointed to a maroon vehicle leaving the parking lot and said to her, "That guy just robbed me."

Landis called 911, gave the information to the dispatcher, and then proceeded to follow the suspect west on Route 30. At some point, local police took over the pursuit, which continued across the Wrights Ferry Bridge to the Wrightsville exit where the suspect turned right onto Cool Springs Road.

After negotiating the meandering Wrightsville back roads, the suspect crashed his vehicle on Dark Hollow Road, just past Roan Lane, and tried to flee but was too injured. Police apprehended him, and an ambulance was dispatched.

Despite the chase, Ms. Landis arrived at her workplace in Lancaster on time but was disappointed that she did not get her food.

Walker convicted of first-degree murder for killing at homeless camp

Go HERE for photos of last year's tent city where the murder occurred.

And the Golden Flying Flip Flop Award Goes to . . .

 . . .  Columbia Borough Council, who, in their one brief shining moment of courage and lucidity, proceeded to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a lame motion to pass a motion with emotion to ignore a motion in motion to disband the Columbia Historic Market House Trust.  (WTF?!) 


In reviewing the convolutions that led to the Council's original nomination for the award, the Borough solicitor noted that the quintessentially Romney-esque nature of their recent flip flop merited this honor.  He added that the Council might also be eligible for a Golden Waffle, which will be awarded at the end of the year.
