Jon Hoffman was sitting at a red light when he saw a man run out of a store carrying a plastic donation jar full of cash. The Plano, Texas, detective, dressed in plain clothes but wearing his badge (徽章) and gun, caught the man and pinned him to the hood of his car. But Hoffman had trouble containing the thief, and they got into a struggle.
“The detective has a martial arts background, and he said he thought the suspect must have a martial arts background, too, because he was able to break away so easily,” a Plano police spokesperson said.
The detective called out for help as a crowd gathered. Among those watching: Andre Harvey and Kirby Sample, two day laborers. Harvey did what has become common these days—he took out his phone and hit record. “I hate to say it, but I thought that this policeman was doing something illegal,” Harvey said. “But when he asked for help, I thought, well, there won’t be a shooting if I get over there in time.” Harvey jumped into action—while he was still recording the video—as did Sample.
“Harvey caught hold of the suspect’s arms, while Kirby seized his legs, and they were able to get the suspect to the ground to help Detective Hoffman put the handcuffs (手铐) on,” said the police spokesperson. The 27-year-old suspect was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses. The charity jar he stole held less than $ 50.
“I’ve been on the wrong side of the law several times in my life,” Harvey told WFAA. “It feels good to be on the right side and do something positive.”
After the arrest, the three men got to know each other over steaks and ribs at a local steak house—Hoffman’s treat, as a thank-you. But the rescuers say Hoffman deserves credit too. “It could have turned real ugly.” Sample told the media “He handled himself like a real professional.”
1.What made Hoffman call for help when arresting the suspect?
A. He was not on duty. B. He needed witnesses to support him.
C. He wanted to push the thief into the car. D. He couldn’t control the suspect.
2.Why did Harvey and Kirby record the scene at the beginning?
A. To follow the fashion. B. To keep track of the criminal.
C. To record the detective’s violence. D. To avoid being involved in the incident.
3.What can be inferred about Harvey?
A. He was ready to violate the law. B. He might have had some illegal behaviour.
C. He was out of work at that time. D. He had a good martial arts background.
4.What is Harvey and Sample’s attitude towards Hoffman?
A. Appreciative. B. Prejudiced.
C. Skeptical. D. Cautious.
