Street Stop In Sherman Park, Subject Stopped On Madison

Good evening, everyone, it's 6:40pm. It's another warm evening in late July, and it's quite cloudy, as if it's going to storm again like it did last night. Those storms were pretty crazy. Tonight, I'm monitoring Zones 13, 10, 12 and 3. I'll be covering primary Zone 3. Also, tonight is the last night I'm blogging until Monday. I'm taking a vacation from both of my blogs, as I need a break. With that, here's crime for this evening.
