Leading Off (10/20/09)

1. Deshannon Lewis was arrested while running to a DART station after robbing a woman at a drive-thru Chase ATM. Now police think he might be the guy responsible for dozens of similar stick-ups. “If we could have funneled him to the Green Line, we might have caught him sooner,” a DPD spokesman may or may not have said.

2. Dallas County was expecting 10,000 doses of the H1N1 vaccine. It received 700. “This one’s on me,” says Clem Jenkins, Dallas County’s longtime head of guesstimation.

3. Illegal alien costumes have been pulled from local stores. Prompting this actual, totally not made-up quote: “Sexy nun costumes, or dressing up as Jesus is okay, but an illegal alien isn’t?”
