Arizona Car Chase/Assault 2/23/08 2:05AM

This just happened not an hour and a half ago. I was coming home from hanging out with my girlfriend at her job in Mesa(AMF Bowling @ Southern and Gilbert) she got off work at midnight and the place closes at 1:30am. I was almost home and I was making a right turn onto Miller Rd to go northbound from going westbound on Mckellips Rd. Two guys in a Light Grey/Dark Grey Trim Honda Element where speeding out of the Circle K parking lot on the northeast corner of Miller and Mckellips. I had just made my right turn to go north on Miller when they were speeding out of the parking lot. The driver of the Honda Element looked in my direct and slammed on his brakes coming to a screeching halt. I thought he was going to t-bone me yet he didn't so I kept on driving.

As I made the left turn onto my street to go home(Pierce St) the Grey Honda Element took the turn wide and got in front of me and proceeded to cut me off. The driver with his left arm and his head hanging out the window yelling at me. I instantly dropped into 2nd Gear and let 7kRPM to the pavement as I did not start anything with these two guys and did not want them to know what house I lived at. I flew down my street at 60-70MPH and made a hard right turn around the curve at 40MPH. I continued down to the end of the street and blew threw the stop sign making a hard left again at 40MPH. The Grey Honda Element is still on my tail. Not even touching 2nd gear I continued in third to make another hard left turn onto 74th street southbound. I flew down 74th street close to 85mph in 4th gear. Still on my tail the two guys. I make a hard right skidding sideways over the dip onto Mckellips Rd again going westbound. Still on my tail. Another right turn onto Scottsdale road northbound 3rd gear, 4th gear, 5th gear, 110mph I come to a sliding stop and a hard right turn onto Roosevelt street. Not on my tail but still behind me the grey element. Blowing through the stop sign at 74th street and Roosevelt I make another hard right turn and speed down 74th back to Mckellips Rd. I do not see their headlights.

I make the quick turn onto Mckellips Rd westbound again and to Scottsdale Rd northbound again. I slow down now 4th gear 45mph(yes I made a circle). I pass Roosevelt St. and coming up on McDowell I see the headlights again coming fast, but its a red light, drop into 3rd and blow around a car in the right lane making a hard right turn eastbound on McDowell. They follow... Another red light at 74th street intersection, there are two cars on either side of the road... I slow down and the Grey Element cuts me off slamming into the driver side front wheel section of my car. I stop and go into neutral in amazement. The driver gets out and comes at me with a baseball bat smashing my windshield. At this point I have pulled out my cell phone and called 911. Slipped into reverse and flew backwards about 20 feet. They get back in the Grey Element and make a quick U-turn to go westbound on McDowell(they drive slow for some reason) but I follow them and give the Police their plate number and location/direction. They make a right turn onto Scottsdale Rd northbound, and go down to Oak St. and make another right eastbound. I follow and they start to speed again blowing through a 4 way stop sign at Oak and 74th St. I let them go ahead a ways, the lady on the phone is telling me not to follow them. I follow them to the end of Oak at Miller Rd and they make a right turn southbound. I tell the lady they made a right turn on Miller Rd going southbound from Oak St.

As soon as I stop my car, pull the parking brake and turn my hazard on, a cop car skids to a stop to assist me. My driver side door barely opens and I squeeze out and lean up against my car. Not more than 5 minutes passes and I can hear them on the radio. "We have the suspects"

It turns out they had committed a crime in Tempe and the cops were looking for them. I was pretty shaken up, and very glad the cops had showed up as fast as they did. I didn't think I was a very good driver either.

I do not know why they chased me. I don't know what other crime they did in Tempe, but the cop said they and I quote, " they probably were going to do to you what they did in Tempe ". I never asked about Tempe though. So I imagine they mugged someone or something of that sort from their vehicle. My insurance will pay for everything I just don't want it to go on my record or change my premiums since I didn't do a damn thing wrong.

Seems like this stuff happens to us Honda owners a lot. People think that we are some punk kids that wont do anything. I hate road rage.

Hah, its all good... they were dumb enough to follow me around in a circle while I waited for teh Cops. I dunno why but I only carry my knife/handgun when I drive my truck. Have slightly different mentality when I'm in my truck. I would have ran his ass over if I had my truck. I was like this, then this then a little of this then some of this then i was like and by the end of the night i was all lmfao

Crime is going up and up. I've only been living in AZ for 3 year now and last year our Tahoe was stolen out of our driveway ..found stripped 3 days later on the west side of mesa. About four months ago our house was burglarized. 2 years ago some idiots wanted to start shit with my man at the time and I told him to just let it go and we got beer bottles and **** thrown at our truck, we were going like 80 or faster down Scottsdale rd...where are the cops when you need them.
