It's Everywhere

South side thugs causing problems:

• A Chicago man was arrested in Wilmette after allegedly breaking a woman’s hand during an attempted purse-snatching.

  Wilmette police arrested James Myer, 17, of the 6800 block of South Dorchester, at 2 p.m. Tuesday. He allegedly walked into a business in the 1100 block of Wilmette Avenue and took a woman’s purse, according to a police alert.

  The woman tried to stop Myer from running away, the alert said, and during a struggle “Myer caused the victim’s hand to fracture.”

  A store employee ran after Myer and detained him until police arrived, the alert said.

Two things:

1. We didn't realize the Red Line went all the way to Wilmette;
   
   
2. Those damn Wilmette Police put that suburb on dude!

And the Tribune comments? Closed as usual.
