Today I bring you an interesting scan from our local Peoria Journal Star. Admittedly, I have an addiction to reading the local crime page to keep up to date on any hot spots to avoid in the area and to bring closure on 6 months of work on a Grand Jury assignment. Okay, and to do some research on a future topic for the blog, but more on that when I get closer to publishing it. Anyway, I came across an entry that made me chuckle out loud. Among all the drugs and weapons violations was a blurb about a purse being stolen in a local bar. Reading through it seemed pretty mundane until I came upon a particular line — I’ll let you see if anything peaks your interest:
$8,000 in the purse. So either the drinks in the place are on the high side, the money was earned there or the pull of a stiff drink was soooo great that she didn’t have time to go to the bank or put it under the mattress. I would love to read the actual story she gave to the police on why that amount of money was in the purse.
