Man Spends 21 Hours in Mustang During Armed Standoff

I’d be willing to bet you’ve never, ever heard of someone pulling off a stunt like this in a Shelby. As a matter of fact, I’m absolutely certain of it.

I was initially drawn to the story after stumbling on a headline saying that a Sheriff’s office could end up taking possession of a $50,000 Mustang. But after reading how it all came about, that doesn’t even begin to capture the true gist of this story.

Apparently, the owner of the Shelby, a guy named Gerry Moore, got into an armed standoff with police in Ohio and spent 21 straight hours in the car before shooting himself in the chest, according to a Sandusky Register report.

Luckily, it looks like he’s going to survive the gunshot wound. But what’s more amazing is that during those hours that Moore was held up in the Shelby, he never once urinated or defecated on himself.

That’s impressive under any conditions, but in a 21-hour police standoff it seems unbelievable, given the level of stress he had to be feeling. It  really makes you wonder if there was a part of Moore that was actually trying to protect the Shelby during the standoff.

Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>
