Thank you.Isaac 44 X, you still have eyes on this male? Isaac 44 X, he's walking northbound on State Road, approaching Ashburn. He's down the street again. He now picked up, he now has a stick in his hand. Something. Alright, that male's going to be walking. Received, we're en route. He now threw the stick in the middle of the street. He's still walking with a hammer in his right hand, approaching Ashburn. North on State. He just had some conversation with the PICO employees doing utility work. Continuing to walk in the middle of the street. Be advised, I am plain clothes. I'm behind him in an unmarked vehicle. Just keep an eye on him. We'll be right back.
