See my husband is awesome and now it's in the papers!

This was in today's edition of the Las Vegas Sun Newspaper (click on the blog title for the website) Yes, he is a great guy!!!

Investigators with the district attorney’s office are licensed peace officers, but they usually don’t deal with crime on the streets.

While driving on East Cheyenne Avenue in North Las Vegas this week, however, investigators Matthew Johns and Jamie Honaker foiled an armed robbery.

Johns and Honaker noticed a woman in distress trying to flag down motorists for help at a bus stop and shortly afterward spotted a man riding a bicycle with a purse hanging on the handle bars. They pulled over the bicyclist and were questioning him, when he reached for something in his waistband. That prompted the investigators to restrain the man and call North Las Vegas police for assistance.

Johns and Honaker found a five-inch folding knife on the bicyclist. They later learned from police the woman alleged the bicyclist had threatened her with that knife when he robbed her of her purse.

Matt, you be careful please! I wish my husband was in the paper today for winning! It was such a heartbreaker. I still feel sick to my stomach.
