So we're continually learning from the news what you shouldn't do if you decide to commit a crime. The most recent lesson: If you plan to rob a bank, make sure Channel 13's Deborah Wrigley isn't around. See, Wrigley helped catch a bank robber Friday morning. No, really, she did.
It seems Wrigley walked into the Chase bank branch on the Southwest Freeway near Buffalo Speedway and noticed 39-year-old Ralston Froman, who was standing next to her in line, pass a note to the teller threatening her life if she didn't give him money. Wrigley slipped out the door, and she and KTRK photographer Johnny Marquez followed Froman when he left the bank. They kept the police on the phone; officers eventually caught up with Froman and found the stolen cash in an ice chest. (As you might expect, KPRC's report of the incident refers to "a customer" who followed Froman, but doesn't call Wrigley by name. We bet Dominique Sachse is lime green with envy.)
Froman, of course, is in jail now, but he was apparently confused how his bank robbery got foiled: "He asked the officer how they caught up with him. He said they were pretty good," J.B. Whitely of the FBI's bank robbery task force told KTRK. "He wasn't aware any citizen was following him." Not just any citizen, sir — a newswoman.

Missed Connections: Gefilte Fish...and "Chain Connections"


Slime in the ice machine green with envy you mean?
Did that really just happen?
You don't think it's possible to make stuff like this up, do you?
she rides a horse trojan proportions
she is a chain smoking, washed up drunk who needs attention
and another thing- get over yourself WHORE, you'll never be marvin or dave.... my sister has seen you plowing down your smokes in the pouring rain as you think of new ways to sensationalize mundane events like your own heroism. go get in the bathtub and drink your merlot, pop your valium from mexico and sit on the dildo of compassion. free speach rocks...
Bad spelling rocks, too, apparently.
what's in a word? okay i left out the word OF in my first comment. SORRY.... OF trojan proportions, OKAY?if shakespeare (which IS how you spell it-i went to theater school) can spell phonetically I can, but sorry, my spelling's good, just not my typing always. I GET ANGRY- nothing in my comment was misspelled- which is ironically one of the most commonly misspelled words in the english language. leaving out words is different. Excuse me for being frustrated with the media.
"turn on the TV cause tragedy thrills me- whatever flavor it happens to be- like 'killed by the husband, drowned by the ocean, shot by his own son- she used a poison in his tea... and kissed him goodbye. THAT'S MY KIND OF STORY!...cause I need to watch things die from a good safe distance...."-Tool
that's the media for you. "let's stop the world- or maury (daggum it is he the father or not?)- to watch some 'dumbo' get arrested like that guy from the houston texans..." anna nicole is getting more press than 9/11 for god's sake!
whatever. i am a peaceful person and this is for speaking your mind. you wanna know bad spelling? his *#@!$#* nametag and all the articles about him spell our last name wrong! so technically my husband isnt in jail. ralston froman is...miz wrigley met with him post-drama and she herself said to him "i now see that you are not a menace to society..."
