Police Capture Rogers Park Spree Robber

A 37-year-old man is in custody and faces strong-armed robbery charges after he robbed four different people on the North Side over a 90 minute period on Tuesday evening, police said. The man, who has not been identified, is currently under medical attention after he told police that he had swolled drugs, said Rogers Park District Lt. John Franklin.

"He ran up and snatched purses and wallets,'' said Franklin. "The total value lost was about $2 total. He just went nuts and decided to go on a spree." The robberies happened on the 1300 block of West Lunt Avenue; the 6700 block of North Glenwood Avenue; the 6600 block of North Newgard Avenue; and the 7200 block of North Ashland. No one was hurt in the robberies, Franklin said. Source/read more.

"Swolled?"

Hopefully that was a quoted word from perpetrator's statement.

On Saturday night I swolled a bunch of roasted garlic. On Sunday morning I had to open the windows to get some fresh air. Whew!

Avoid becoming a victim. Stay aware of your surroundings. Walk in groups.

Watch out for guys in orange jackets who just "swolled" a bunch of drugs.

swolled is a good word btw

from urban dictionary

In describing a guy, the meaning would be to have muscles, or to have been lifting weights or working out.
