Can’t help but notice that the unfolding SWAT drama in West Charlotte is hundreds of feet from the home of Mary and Henry Stokes, the elderly couple brutally attacked in their own home by robbers a couple weeks ago.

Today’s event kicked off with an armed robbery — shocker there — on Queen City Dr. Shots were fired and the suspect(s) fled to a nearby motel.

WBTV is reporting that an arrest has been made. If CMPD does not drive the perp up the block to be IDed by the Stokes, they damn sure are not trying very hard.
