Vigilante justice, a dumb criminal, a snow plow, a bizarre 911 call — this story has it all.

Here's how it went down in Alliance: John Shuman was at Wal-Mart minding his own business when he saw 18-year-old Cody Bragg allegedly grab a woman's purse and take off. Shuman, not willing to stand idle while the thief got away, hopped in his snowplow, called 911, and chased the suspect. For 30 minutes.
