Alleged Shoplifter Runs Straight to the News-Banner


So we're sitting around the newsroom Thursday afternoon, talking about news stories, when Glen takes a stroll out to his truck. Lo and behold, the police are wrestling someone into a patrol car and dozens of items scattered across our parking lot.

Apparently, someone had been tackled by a local citizen after fleeing the Dollar general through the backdoor with a bag of what the clerk said was stolen merchandise.

All I know is, it was the shortest distance I ever had to walk for a story. You can read all about it in today's News-Banner.
