NORTH RICHLAND HILLS _ A veteran police officer who has competed for more than 17 years took gold in the Texas pentathlon during the Texas Police Games held last month in Austin.
A second officer also took two silver medals in two bicycle events.
The officers won their medals in athletic competitions with other officers from all over the state as well as from New Mexico, Arizona and California. An estimated 1,900 officers participated in the three day event.
Officer Tom Cleveland grabbed the top honor in the pentathlon, a five event contest that included a 1500 meter run, a 40 yard run where a competitor drags a 180 pound dummy, 100 meter dash, pull ups and a 400 meter police bicycle sprint.
Officer John Harding took two silver medals competing in a 32 mile road race and a 10K time trial.

Now I know how NRH spent those big $ they got when my sister got busted for speeding while doing 42mph in the 40mph zone. Of course no mention was made by NRH personnel doing 75mph on a city street to capture said criminal.

How would they need to do 75 to catch up to a car going 42?
