MOUNT AIRY - A man is in custody after Cincinnati Police found him hiding in the trunk of a car in Mount Airy on Tuesday morning.

Police were called to the 5100 block of Hawaiian Terrace near Colerain Avenue after shots were fired at a car around 4:00 a.m.

Police said the man who fired the gun called his girlfriend because he knew officers were looking for him. Investigators said he jumped in the trunk of her car, but an eyewitness told officers where he was hiding.

Officers have not revealed his identity or if he has been charged with anything at this point.

Well at least there was an "eye-witness" that wasn't blind, deaf and dumb when asked for help by police. There might yet be help for folks trying to clean up their little part of the world... as long as they care enough to back the law they'll have my respect/support.

Hawaiian Terrace is or used to be primarily a Section 8 group of apartment complexes. The Section 8 program due to being run as poorly as it is tends to incubate, provide sanctuary for, and I believe even encourage criminal behavior.
