November 9, 2003 BUT I DID NOT SHOOT THE DEPUTY: A lawyer was singing the Bob Marley song "I Shot the Sheriff" as he was leaving a Montreal courtroom during a break from defending a man who shot a policeman to death. He was heard by police and reporters, and his performance was caught on tape. He hastily apologized. HAVE A VERY SPOOKY CHRISTMAS: Officials in Kerrville, Texas, started putting Christmas decorations up on the courthouse early this year - before Halloween. Local citizens have complained bitterly, calling the early display of Christmas symbols "appalling'' and "horrible.'' "GET HIM!" A man who had been exposing
himself for weeks to students at a Philadelphia Catholic girls' school
showed up there once too often. He was spotted at a nearby bus stop by
three of his victims. WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHO HE IS: A man walked out of a market in Memphis, Tenn., without paying for some packaged meat, and, after a brief scuffle with a clerk, fled in a stolen pickup truck. Police expect to catch him soon, though. During the scuffle, he dropped his wallet, containing his ID. NO TREATS FOR YOU: On Halloween, an armed man wearing a mask tried to rob a village store in south Wales, but the clerk, thinking it was a trick-or-treat prank, did not take him seriously and refused to give the guy any money. He left.
