A
Minnesota woman visiting the West Side of Chicago went all-in, Chicago style,
or at least West-Side style. She was at the
Walmart on West North Ave. (Chicago area readers know this Walmart and know it’s
dodgy). She was arrested for shoplifting
when she asked the officers if she could do some heroin.

| No, you cannot do a bag of heroin in police custody |
While
that might be a reasonable request in Minnesota, with that whole “Minnesota
nice” thing, it’s not cool in Chicago, or at least with the Chicago Police. Especially when you’re pregnant and you tell
the police that. You’re announcing
yourself as a crazy junkie.
The
Chicago Tribune reports that
Edith Hancock, the soon-to-be mother of the year, continued to ask for “just
one blow” while being processed because she was getting “dopesick.” Officers found multiple bags of heroin in her
purse. She told them she only wanted one.
Again, while that sort of thing might be cool in Minnesota, it’s not
gonna fly in the west side. And didn’t.
On the west side, if you’re gonna do heroin in the Walmart on North Avenue, you’re
going to have to do it before the police arrive.
At
least the judge was somewhat cool.
Hancock was released on a signature bond. Meaning she was released on her own
recognizance, having to pay no bond, and told to appear in court on February
18. Likely the judge hopes she’ll go
back to Minnesota.
