D.C. Wire brings word that the suspect who has been arrested in a string of robberies at local businesses that includes Bandolino shoe store at 1329 Wisconsin Ave NW in Georgetown, Junction vintage clothing store at 1510 U Street NW, and City Sports sporting goods store on 7th Street NW in Chinatown, had previously been employed by the campaigns of D.C. Council candidates Adam Clampitt and Council member Michael A. Brown (I-At Large) (see City Desk for more on the politics angle). Ezra Mathis (no relation) was arrested Friday night near Potomac and M streets after police recognized him from a surveillance photo. In a recent email to other stores on U Street, Junction employee Megan J. Gay noted that she felt the robbery suspect had been preying on women who were alone working in stores and boutiques. WJLA has more.

Gee, these sure are hard times. I guess it goes with the depression/recession..bank robbers and bandits. The return of the wild wild west.
told you that nothing good came from the michael brown campaign.
Best line of the entire story:
Ezra Mathis (no relation)
Not sure if that "no relation" was actually necessary. The senior editor's relations are all kleptos, arsonists, and mattress tag traffickers, not robbers.
Allegedly.
