Good, I am glad they caught the idiot! Hopefully he will be convicted of both felony charges and get some good jail, or prison time!

I hope the girl is ok!

I think public shaming should come back in vogue,
have the stockade brought out
so he can get a few tomatoes thrown at him,

or make him work at a cell phone store so he can be stressed out by people who have phone problems like getting their phones stolen.

@bwalker:
This was a story about "Anthony Williams" - Now his name is "James Brown"???
I'm confused.

An alias already at 17? Oh, they grow up so fast... I'll bet he was saving up to get his fingertips sandpapered.

BTW, this goes back to what I've said her before: Stop with this walking down the street, head looking down texting crap!!! Man, I see SO many idiot walking down dark streets, earphones blasting in their heads, looking down, texting some (I'm pretty sure) inane text crap that can probably wait until they're home. STOP THIS. It's dangerous at night and, as this story demonstrates, dangerous in the daytime too. PAY ATTENTION!

I agree with the texting, headsets and phone comments. I just love the people that are so busy texting or talking on the phones while they are trying to walk their dog. Their dog could do anything and they wouldn't have a clue. If it's that urgent, sit down or move to the side!
