Let's Hear it for Officer Hamblin

Note the first name of the officer who "threw" the perp into a brick wall:

The wheels of justice can turn swiftly — especially when there's a convention of bicycle cops in town.

A thief picked the wrong day to try to grab jewelry from a Cinco de Mayo street fair display, police said. As the man ran off, he turned the corner to face a group of officers attending the International Police Mountain Bike Association convention.

"About 30 out-of-state cops were coming back from a ride," said Lt. Dan Greenhalgh of the Ogden Police Department.

"Three of them took off [in pursuit]," he said. "It was bad timing for the bad guy."

Officer Louann Hamblin from VanBuren Township near Ann Arbor, Mich., subdued the thief after throwing him into a brick wall, he said.

Tough cop chix rule.
