That's our own reporter, Don Germaise reflected in the windshield and staring sternly at an alleged evildoer Check out the report from our Thursday newscast about a Tampa P.D. reverse sting to arrest thieves who steal copper wiring from homes and businesses and the scrap dealers who buy the stolen metal.
Here's Don:
"You never know what you’ll run into on a news story. Talk about opposite reactions! When we chased down suspects in a copper theft reverse sting – we saw both ends of the spectrum. One man sitting handcuffed in the back of a squad car chatted amiably away with us while declaring his innocence. Another man spit at the pool camera. Fortunately his aim was off and he didn’t do much damage. Like I say, you never know what you’ll run into."
