1991 -- Police in Arlington, Texas, were greatly assisted in solving a May armored car robbery. The robber, with gun in hand running for his car, was parked beside a busload of Japanese tourists, who aimed their cameras when they heard the commotion. Many prints of the man's face and license plate became available, and he was picked up a short time later.
1995 -- Recent arrests: On a prostitution charge in Pisgah, Md., Alonda Ann Hoe, 21; on marijuana-smuggling charges in Sarita, Texas, George Washington, 40; on murder charges in Miami (for a plot in Haiti), Hitler Fleurinord; on trespassing charges at a Fairfax, Va., high school, Fonzie Agnew, 20.
1997 -- In October, a court in Fort Worth, Texas, awarded former patient Jeannie Warren, 23, $8.4 million in her lawsuit against the now-defunct Psychiatric Institute of Fort Worth because of its "rage reduction therapy." The treatment involves restraining the patient and creating a rage "in a controlled and loving environment," said the institute, so that any underlying anger will be exposed. Warren said that, in two dozen lessons, institute personnel pinned her down, punched her in the abdomen and ribs, and demanded continually to know what she was angry at. Said Warren, "I couldn't think of anything except, 'You!'"
