RVer Mistaken for Robber
"I've never been so terrified in all my life, I'm sitting in my trailer minding my own business, and, the next thing I know, a gun is being pointed at my head." Such was the story of Mike Honn.
Honn was staying at a Michigan RV park, as he says, minding his own business. Little did Honn know, in the same RV park an ex-con was busily changing his hair color after having robbed a pizza restaurant. Police, tipped off that the suspect had been seen working on a tractor in the park, descended with weapons drawn. They found the tractor--but no suspect--near Honn's RV, and they noticed the door on the RV was slightly ajar.
Two officers made their way into the RV, startling Honn in the rear of the rig. They soon recognized Honn wasn't there man, and took their leave. The suspect, a man who'd been convicted several times of armed robbery on previous occasions was found in another RV. For the full story, visit the Monroe County, Michigan, Monroe News web site.

Seems this person WAS due to be released from parole in May but, if guilty of new crimes, should certainly be back behind bars.
Also, I appreciate the fact the startled camper accepted the apology and said it's a closed matter.
Yes, things can happen to you and this is simply another reason to be careful in all your surroundings.
