Seminole Heights man makes a difference

3 bad guys are off the streets as a results of actions of one of my neighbors.

In today's Tribune there is a story about an attempted robbery.

Durkin said the three told detectives that they planned to rob a Domino's Pizza store at 5011 W. Hillsborough Ave. about midnight Monday.

But when deliveryman J.D. Pugh III returned to the store and spotted them pulling stockings over their faces, Durkin said, they panicked and fled."...... "The teens remained jailed without bail Tuesday night, held on conspiracy to commit robbery charges. They told detectives that when they encountered Pugh, they feared he could identify them and fled, Durkin said." ....."Pugh wrote down the license plate number and called 911. Hounded by reporters Tuesday, Pugh declined to comment about the incident, saying only, "I don't consider myself a hero."

Well J.D. I consider you a hero. You had the presence of mind to get the license plate. You called the police. Being a hero does not mean you have to do something dramatic. Simple actions can have great consequences. Crime gets reduced because people care and get involved.

Thank You JD!
