EVERYTHING'S BIG IN TEXAS
"They didn't know how much money was in the
safe," said Euless, Texas, police Lt. John Williams about a house
burglary. "But once they opened it, they hit the mother lode." The
burglars got $59,000 in cash from the safe and got away, but
Christopher Norman, the 18-year-old man who allegedly pulled the off
heist, couldn't keep his mouth shut: he bragged about it so much that
another man tried to rob him of the loot. At least 10 shots were fired
in the resulting shootout. Norman survived the robbery attempt, but
police tied him to the burglary and arrested him. "He went through a
lot of that money," Williams said, "because we were able to find just
$24,000." (Fort Worth Star-********) ...A typical big dummy: he has a
big mouth and is a big spender.
