Be. Arrested! B - E Arrested!

Some high school cheerleaders in Michigan helped catch a hit and run by committing the offender's license plate to memory using the skills learned at spirit camp. They turned the number into a cheer.
"We just started to chant it so we'd remember it and help them get the guy,'' said Ostrowski, a senior captain, who with junior co-captain Amy Sirois led the nine-member squad's impromptu performance until the Ann Arbor Police arrived.

Even better:
Patricia Clark, the squad's coach, said the woman hit her head on the steering wheel and her knee on the dashboard due to the impact, which crushed the trunk of her sedan. She said she used some of the girls' frozen water bottles to soothe the victim while she called police, shouting out the part of the license plate number she could see to the cheerleaders. They stepped into the street to take note of the entire plate.

"We thought he was going to pull over to get out of the truck, but he just bailed, and we were like, 'No way!' '' said Jennifer Smith, 16.

Mostly, I just wanted to use that headline.

Cheerleaders ROCK.
