He's crazy! " Youngblood's three small brothers were in the back seat The carjacker was forced to flee on foot and police immediately made an arrest. Thursday at J-E Robbins school Youngblood was named a junior policeman as the county prosecutor tried to use his courage to convince youngsters not to adopt a "no snitch" mentality that has made city crime fighting a tough job. The 9-year-old knew why he was being honored. "Because I did something good for my family." His mother proudly watched him get the small police badge. "I think for his actions that evening he's definitely a role model not just for the kids but for a lot of adults. I think there's a lot of adults that may not have known what to do." ." Unbelievable. He's brave and courageous and most important quick thinking. " Others youngsters got a chance to meet with police and were urged to do the right thing if they see a crime.

PATRICK MCMURTRY HAS A COUPLE OF HOT SPOTS FOR YOU IN THIS WEEK'S BEHIND THE KITCHEN DOOR REPORT. We have a lot of places to tell you about this week, so lets get straight to this week's Kitchen Door Report. Topping our list is Texas Steakhouse at 2815 Mountaineer Blvd. in South Charleston. Inspectors found 10 violations, including 1 critical. There was mildew growing on the inside of the ice machine, there is an opening at the base of the wall by the mop sink. The hood by the fryer was also dirty. Up next, Longhorn Steakhouse at 91 RHL Blvd in South Charleston. Inspectors found 8 violations, 1 critical. The buttermilk was being stored at an improper temperature and the drain line was leaking at the butter dipper well. That's it for the places needing improvement. We have several places with good reports this week. The Bob Evans in Elkview, Cozumel in Ashton Place and the Hibachi at Trace Fork all did good jobs this week. Our thumbs up goes to the folks over at the concession stand at Laidley Field. They say the inspectors showed up right before the game and they still had a perfect score. Great job. Don't forget, you can get your first look at Behind the Kitchen Door Thursday on Eyewitness News This Morning. I'm Patrick McMurtry, I'll see you then.
