HAMMOND — The U.S. Attorney’s Office has charged two men with robbing three Lake County banks in the last five weeks.

Anthony Day and Omarr Williams, who police arrested Tuesday, are named in federal armed robbery charges alleging they took a total of $24,886 between a Sept. 5 hold up at a Gary financial institution and Tuesday’s capture.

Hammond and Lake County police used an electronic tracking device to follow the pair after a Tuesday hold up. The chase ended near Gary’s Brunswick neighborhood with their arrest.

Next:  California man goes to police station, tells the police that he’s killed people and one dead person is in his car. The others are in his apartment. Not real bright, is he?

ROSEVILLE, Calif. – Police in Northern California launched a homicide investigation Monday after a suspect told officers he had allegedly killed four people.

At a news conference, Roseville Police Capt. Josh Simon said the sole suspect was in custody after showing up at the Mount Shasta police department Monday in a vehicle with a body inside. The suspect also told Mt. Shasta police that he had allegedly killed people at his apartment in Roseville.

And finally: Detroit gang member gets sentenced to 30 years. That will, of course, be appealed as too harsh… or maybe not.

Detroit — A member of the Latin Counts street gang was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison Thursday for his role in a drive-by shooting that left a fellow gang member dead of friendly fire.

U.S. District Judge Robert Cleland sentenced Alberto Jackson, 20, four months after the accused gang member pleaded guilty to two racketeering crimes, including conspiracy to commit murder in aid of racketeering. He is among more than 92 people convicted of federal racketeering crimes in the last five years during a crackdown on violent Detroit street gangs, a crackdown outlined in “Death by Instagram,” a serial narrative published last year by The Detroit News.

You know, if we started executing all of the murderers, we’d have more room in the overcrowded prisons for the bank robbers. Glad to hear that the gang bangers are helping out by killing their own. Good job!

“shooting that left a fellow gang member dead of friendly fire”

I don’t think “friendly fire” is the appropriate
phrase here. Friendship among gang members is
rather fleeting when the lead flies.
