For my post this week I'm taking about a story that happened here in American Fork. Del Taco was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday morning (or Tuesday night) at midnight this week. The intruder demanded 2 employees to give him the cash in the register. He then left and probably took some Del Inferno with him. The intruder, now identified as Josef Hardesty, was also involved in the robberies of two other Utah County restaurants. An Arby's in Springville and Hungry Howies Pizza in Orem were both robbed by a 5 ft 10 white male, hooded, and threatened by him with a knife.
This is pretty scary because it's actually a pretty big crime committed in our neck of the woods. This hooded maurader needs to be stopped. It makes me angry that there's no way, in some cases, that people can willy-nilly rob a burrito shop.
It is scary that people can get away with that type of stuff all the time. I have some biased feelings about this right now because I just got pulled over for going 5 over down the temple hill, but don't you think cops could spend a little less time setting speed traps and more on stopping crimes such as this one.

Against that argument, a lot of people get after the police for not keeping roadways safe enough. You wouldn't believe how many people by the high school complain about our driving. It's actually the reason there are so many speed traps in the morning when you go to school. People complain about the wrong things, so the wrong things are where police are spending their time.
DeleteWell, to be fair to there isn't much big crimes like these in AF very often. Honestly, the cops really have nothing else to do but to catch speeders. But they probably put these crimes first on their list of priorities when they happen.
