Major success in the fight against the panhandlers… this morning, I learned the identity of the guy who has been going around selling the Downtown Merchant Guide and other free magazines, claiming the money is for donations for St. Jude.\u00a0 The information came from the CCC so it appears that the Downtown Safety Patrol were the ones responsible for uncovering his identity.\u00a0 Great work!<\/p>\n
I’m not going to post his name here, but his name, picture, date of birth, and a summary of his extensive criminal record (including felonies such as assault, drug charges, aggravated robbery, and grand larceny) are on the Handling-Panhandling<\/a> online forum.\u00a0 If you’re fed up with criminal panhandlers like this guy, click the link to join the forum and help us clean up the streets of Downtown Memphis.<\/p>\n By the way, for his last two arrests (the most recent being August 8) he had a listed address in the Highland-Park area.\u00a0 So much for the mistaken belief that homeless and panhandlers are one and the same.<\/p>\n Working together as a community, we’re making life tough for the criminal panhandlers down here.\u00a0 We’ve all but run Jumper Cable Guy out of Downtown.\u00a0 Hopefully we can do the same for St. Jude Guy.\u00a0 As I’ve said before, only the absolute scum of the earth would lie about representing a children’s charity to get money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Major success in the fight against the panhandlers… this morning, I learned the identity of the guy who has been going around selling the Downtown Merchant Guide and other free magazines, claiming the money is for donations for St. Jude.\u00a0 The information came from the CCC so it appears that the Downtown Safety Patrol were … Continue reading “St. Jude bum identified”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2533\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
