BLS Student Felt Slighted, Cops Intervene

Waco local / MBA enthusiast / new best friend, Jud, sent me this link from the WacoTrib in an e-mail that read, "Swanny, those law school kids are a different crowd."

Since I can't do much to improve off Ms. Erin Quinn's intrepid reporting, I'll simply reprint the highlights - sans names and Facebook pictures - and note that people are innocent until proven guilty and Chicago was in no way involved.

POLICE REPORT: Baylor law student charged with brandishing handgun at bar

A 22-year-old Baylor University law student was arrested early Friday morning after Waco police say he revealed a handgun outside of a campus-area bar to one of its employees.

Waco police officer Steve Anderson said [student] had been kicked out of Scruffy Murphy’s, 1226 Speight Ave., around 11 p.m. Thursday. At about 2:30 a.m., after the bar was closed, [student] returned to the bar, Anderson said. A Scruffy’s employee told him the bar was closed, and [student] said he was returning to see a man he had a dispute with in the parking lot after [student] was kicked out earlier, Anderson said.

As he walked away from the bar, police said [student] revealed to the employee a handgun tucked in his waistband. He was arrested a short time later, police said.

On second thought, only way to improve on the article is to remove a few instances of the word "said" and add a line that reads, "Upon being arrested, [student] kept yelling, "Woo!!! Spring Break '08!!!!"
