Elginites protect each other

May 17th, 2008

Looks like it was a bad day for Humberto. I hope Elginites step up like this if I’m ever robbed or attacked!
Cut and pasted from today’s Courier:

Robbery foiled: Humberto Romero, 23, 323 Summit St., was charged with robbery after allegedly attempting to steal a woman’s purse in the parking lot of a business, located in the 20 block of Tyler Creek Plaza Thursday afternoon. A number of witnesses to the incident reportedly chased Romero and were able to tackle him to the ground and hold him until office arrived, police said. Bond was set at $10,000. Romero is scheduled to appear in court May 30.
