Woman sleeps through SWAT standoffThursday, August 28, 2008 (08-28) 06:02 PDT Paso Robles, CA (AP) -- A Paso Robles woman apparently sleeps like a log. More NewsLeslie Lamproe snoozed through a dramatic five-hour SWAT team standoff outside her home before a suspected armed robber holed up inside was arrested. Twenty-five-year-old Justin Rinker, a parolee, had barricaded himself in the Lamproe home after allegedly robbing Chubby Chandler's Pizza on Tuesday night. A police dog tracked Rinker to the home a block from the pizza parlor. Rockie Lamproe says Rinker came through the back door and the 55-year-old homeowner slipped out the front door when he saw police. During the five-hour standoff, the man says his 61-year-old wife "slept through everything and didn't know it was going on." The woman wears earplugs when she sleeps. ___ Information from: The Tribune, www.sanluisobispo.com Comments |
