It seems to happen around midnight or a little later. A hooded, masked man enters a mini-mart or fast food joint with a gun and demands money. Some of these recent crimes in our area have been solved; others haven't. How many are related? We're guessing most of them. We're also guessing the police have several leads. We hope it's just a short wait until the authorities cross every "t" and dot every "i" in order to make some arrests.

Just how daring are these armed robbers? Several years ago a miscreant in Tuscumbia robbed the gas station directly across from the police department/city jail. He either really needed the money or wasn't too smart.

While speaking of masked men...have you seen the clown roaming around the front of Chili's on Cox Creek Parkway? Well, it is a Halloween promotion...
