Weird … I thought the police gave people medals for doing this:
Demarcus Edwards of Peoria Heights was waiting at a traffic light at War Memorial Drive and University Avenue about 11:40 a.m. when a green-haired Russ Sarver of 2631 Farmington Road got out of his car and punched Edwards in the face, according to a Peoria police report.
Sarver then got back into his car and Edwards pursued, following him to a residence at 1020 W. Virginia Ave., according to police.
Police said that when they knocked on the door, Sarver answered and admitted he had punched Edwards. He was booked on a charge of battery and given a citation for disorderly conduct.
Sarver said Edwards had cut him off twice while texting, and he had been having a bad day.
There is nothing … NOTHING … in this report about what punishment Demarcus Edwards faces. I think 10 lashes would be appropriate.
So … apparently all those public service announcement messages about how bad it is to text and drive was just hot air.

People acting true to form on the wrong side of the river:
PEKIN —About a dozen police officers, nearly all that were available south of Creve Coeur, took part in breaking up the second of two fights at an apartment complex early Sunday. In all, three young people went to area hospitals and seven to jail.
A total of 11 people were charged after the two apparently unrelated fights broke out before dawn at an apartment at 1215 Florence Ave. Eight created what amounted to a melee shortly before dawn, an officer said.
“One female hit a male, then another male came to his aid and just about everybody got involved,” said Sgt. Jeff Little. “It sounded like six against two.”

I just left McDonalds on Western. A lady diner just has her purse stolen. She was sitting at a booth, got up to refill a drink, and some punk who was sitting nearby talking on a cell phone grabbed it and bolted. After she gave the police a report, she called a locksmith to unlock her car and replace the ignition key.

I found THIS press release in my inbox this morning:
The Chief will be available for interviews at 2 p.m. today [Monday] in his Office for media members that are interested. He will be willing to speak briefly about how earnestly the police are working the case and that progress is being made.
