Tucson had two girls hit in a crosswalk, (nonfatal. One day observation in hospital), two cop cars collide, a former basketball player with drugs, etc. This story never made the newspaper. All I have is from the TV station. http://www.kgun9.com/story.asp?TitleID=3401&ProgramOption=News DIRT BIKER LASSOED OFF HIS BIKE by Terry Gonzalez (10/14/03) T.G. A 33-year-old Tucson man is recovering after being lassoed off his dirt bike! Brian Corell, his step-son, and another boy were riding their dirt bikes here in the Pantano wash Sunday afternoon. Corell says the next thing he remembers is waking up in the middle of a CAT scan at University Medical Center. The two boys with Corell say the three were riding along at about 30 miles an hour, when two men on horseback galloped up behind them. 14-year-old Bobby Badertscher is Corell?s stepson, "The man lassoed Brian causing him to fall to the ground." [I suspect this is not the truth. If horses only gallop at 20 mph.] Corell suffered rope burns on neck and abrasions to his arm. "The burn itself isn't really bad it's just my whole neck, it's almost like whiplash. I have trouble turning it forward, backward, side to side." A Tucson Police report says the owner of near-by Pantano Stables has been worried about dirt bikers spooking horses--and putting his customers in danger. The man admits- he roped Corell right off his dirt bike. Corell says he did not know it was illegal to ride dirt bikes where structures are close by. He understands that now-- what he doesn't understand is why he and the two boys each received 68 dollar citations- and no one has been charged for lassoing him. "I'm very happy that if it had to be done it was me and not one of the boys who was with me." Tucson Police officers say when they arrived at the stables on Sunday, the man accused of lassoing Corell was not there. Detectives are investigating and say the city attorney will review the case.
