Jesse James tried to rob First Fidelity Bank this morning…again, according to police.

 

A passing officer caught James with $20,000 as he backed out of the bank door, police said.

 

“Jesse James was my great-great uncle,” the suspect said. “I was just trying to finish the job he started.”

 

The famous outlaw Jesse James and his brother, Frank, robbed the bank nearly 100 years ago, but authorities also arrested them.

 

 “This man has no sense of history,” Police Chief Weldon Freeman said.

 

 

History apparently can repeat itself. Jesse James robbed First Fidelity this morning, police said.

 

Jesse James is back.

Opponents of road-construction noise in their neighborhood won a victory in City Civil Court this morning, but only will get earplugs for their efforts.

 

Residents of the Lakeshore subdivision claimed that Weatherford Construction Co. was violating city noise ordinances and filed a lawsuit to try to halt its road project.

 

Judge Jan Sommerfelt ruled in the residents’ favor, but said the road work will continue.

 

The company only will have to give earplugs to anyone who complains about the noise, Sommerfelt ruled.

 

 

A City Central junior is taking his support of the school’s football team to new heights.

 

Bobby Lott has been sitting in a tree at the front of the school since 9 this morning and plans to stay there as much as possible until Friday’s night football game with rival County Central.

 

The winner of that game will go to the state championship.

 

“I won’t make him come down,” Principal Dick Barrett said. “I don’t think he’ll get behind in his school work.”

 

Barrett described Lott as a good student “who has his parents’ permission to do this.”

 

Friends have been taking class notes for him and bringing him food.

 

Lott said his tree perch is his way to support the team, and he won’t come down except to go the bathroom.

 

He won’t stay in the tree, however, during a lightning storm: “I may be crazy, but I’m

not stupid.”

 

A City Central student is going to something of an extreme to show his school spirit for Friday’s playoff football game against County Central, City’s archrival.

 

Local high school junior Bobby Lott is going to extreme heights to show support for his school’s football team.

 

Instead of providing ground-level support for his school’s football team, one City Central student has decided to elevate his gridiron enthusiasm.

City Central junior Bobby Lott is going to great heights to show his school spirit.

 

Students of City Central High School have different ways of showing support for their football team; however, not many have gone as far as Bobby Lott, a junior at the school.
