Who Was That Masked Man?
Robert Borba, 28, was loading up his truck in a Walmart parking lot in Eagle Point, Ore., when he heard a woman screaming: a man was stealing her bicycle. “I wasn’t going to catch him on foot,” Borba explained. “I just don’t run very fast.” He had his horse in a trailer, so he brought it out and rode to her aid. Borba caught up with the man, who was having trouble getting up to speed, so he ditched the bike and ran. Borba, a rancher and former rodeo competitor, simply lassoed the man’s legs with a rope, causing him to fall down. The man grabbed a tree to try to pull loose, but Borba simply had his horse, Long John, keep a pull on the rope to hold the man tight. “Do you have a badge to do this?” the man asked Borba. Borba simply took out his cell phone and called police, and held the man for them. Victorino Arellano-Sanchez, 22, was arrested. (RC/Medford Mail Tribune) ...Badges?
