The cops from Fife, Wa. were supposed to be on an anti-prostitution sting. But then they noticed a man in a truck stop parking lot emerge from behind some bushes with three large duffel bags. They watched him put the bags in the trunk of a car as another man sat behind the wheel. When the officers pulled up for a chat the men took off.The suspects led police on a high-speed chase through downtown that finally ended when they made the mistake of turning down a dead-end road.Rather than give up, they ran instead. That’s when they made their second mistake.Because there, at the end of the road, were 15 other officers and their 15 drug-sniffing dogs. The suspects hadn’t just turned down a dead-end road. They’d also turned down the one dead-end road in Fife that was home to a monthly K-9 training session.Realizing they were hopelessly out-manned, the two suspects surrendered, thus making their first good decision of the day. Then they watched as the dogs went nuts around their car; understandable since sitting inside those duffel bags was 95 pounds of cocaine, a haul with a street value of $1.2 million.”Bad day for them. Good day for us,” said one of the lieutenants on the scene. No kidding.
