Tensions exploded in Mobile, Alabama, this week when a routine property check turned into a wild police chase, complete with a stolen truck, a tree-crushing crash, and a whole lot of drama.

Here’s the scene: Karlos Argo, a local homeowner trying to sell his place on Isabel Way West, gets a tip about a busted window. No big surprise, really—the spot’s been a magnet for squatters before. So he heads over, and bam: 24-year-old Romane Proctor is inside. What happens next? Chaos. Proctor bolts, Argo hops in his truck and gives chase while calling 911, and soon they’re tangled up in a raucous tussle right there in the street.

But here’s where it gets nuts. Proctor somehow wriggles free, jumps into Argo’s own dang truck, and peels out like a madman. Cue the cops, the sirens, the whole shebang. This guy floors it down Government Boulevard, hitting speeds way too reckless for a residential area, before—wham!—wrapping the stolen ride around a tree. The pictures? Ugly. Airbags blown out, front end crumpled like a soda can.
Proctor’s now cooling his heels in Metro Jail, slapped with theft, assault, and evasion charges. Argo? Just some scrapes and bruises, but you know he’s not exactly thrilled. Turns out Proctor had history with the house, evicted a year back. Neighbors? Spooked. Same old story with trespassers, they grumble, and honestly, who can blame them?
Cops are still untangling the mess, digging into Proctor’s ties to the property and how this all escalated so fast. One thing’s certain: Mobile’s got itself one heck of a story.
