Following the issuance of an \"Ebola\" alert—a term used for a be-on-the-lookout notification—Rossman, noted for his keen eyesight, spotted the suspect vehicle while on patrol. He skillfully maneuvered his motorcycle to pursue the vehicle, ultimately leading to the safe arrest of the armed suspect, who had a history of violent offenses. The suspect was positively identified by the victim, underscoring the effectiveness of Rossman's quick actions.
