Did you hear about the close call Deputy Big Mclargehuge had last night? A suspect produced a concealed knife he had on him and tried to stab Mclargehuge. Jumping out of the way Mclargehuge struck the suspect with his flashlight while repeating to STOP RESISTING Soon the suspect was in custody. Wow, Mclargehuge really is the best at mag-tag.
