This is going to be the condensed version because it’s 1 AM.
I had an interview with Channel 3 at 7 PM about the benefits of the Downtown safety patrol. At 6:45 I got a call from Mike King, the co-moderator of the Handling-Panhandling group. He told me St. Jude Bum, the guy who panhandles and tells people that the money they give him is a St. Jude donation, was at the Elvis statue. Did I mention that St. Jude bum had an oustanding warrant? Interestingly enough, my 7 PM interview was to take place at the Elvis statue.
Mike called the Downtown safety patrol. They called the cops. The cops showed up at precisely 7:01 PM. I pointed him out and the cameras got a shot of St. Jude Bum being cuffed and put in a car.
I don’t remember what I said but it could not have possibly compared to that image. Kudos to Mike on a job well done.
More to come tomorrow or this weekend.
