Jesse Barhight

JESSE BARHIGHT WAS CAPTURED IN THE SUMMER OF 2003 BY JIM RICHARDS AND DARRYL PEARSON. HE WAS ON A $40,000 BOND FOR MANUFACTURE OF DRUGS IN GUADALUPE COUNTY, SEGUIN, TX. JESSE WAS PICKED UP BY A FRIEND NEAR THE MEDICAL CENTERS IN SAN ANTONIO, AND FOLLOWED TO A CONVENIENCE STORE. THE DRIVER ENTERED THE STORE. JESSE WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE ON A CELL PHONE. I LET MR. RICHARDS OUT NEAR THE SUSPECT, AND PROCEEDED TO PARK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORE. AS I CAME UP TO THE STORE FRONT, JESSE WAS RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE. I APPROACHED THE STORE, "TALKING" ON MY CELL, AS IF I WERE ANOTHER CUSTOMER GOING INTO THE STORE. AS JESSE APPROACHED ME, I HAD THAT "SURPRIZED" LOOK, LIKE I WAS SAYING, "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON"? HE MADE THE MISTAKE OF RUNNING IN BETWEEN ME AND A PARKED CAR IN FRONT OF THE STORE. I TACKLED HIM IN THE MID-SECTION, LIKE A LINEBACKER, AND HEARD THE WIND IMMEDIATELY EXPEL FROM HIS LUNGS. WE BOTH HIT THE GROUND, AND BROKE OUR CELL PHONES. HE WAS QUICKLY CUFFED BY MR. RICHARDS, AND TAKEN TO COUNTY JAIL.
