Watched Paperclips last night… not bad, but a little flat. Could’ve done the job in about 30 minutes, I suspect. Worth seeing, but needed a lot of edits for my attention span.

Gun-slinging females, some sporting fake beards, have conducted four stickups in Jasper County in the past 11 weeks in what investigators are calling an unusual, baffling crime spree.

The robberies started May 5 when a white woman wearing sunglasses, a cowboy hat and fake facial hair held up the Conoco gas station in the Brookshire Brothers’ parking lot in Jasper, detectives said.

Jasper Police Detective Gerald Hall said the woman took $3,500 after she raised her shirt and flashed a handgun stuffed in the waistline of her pants.

“She was trying to look like a man,” Hall said.

A month later, the Tobacco Barn in the same parking lot was robbed of about $3,500.

The bandit staged the stickup as an employee was about to make the night deposit, Hall said.

Andrea Lindsey, 32, of Jasper, was arrested after being picked out of a lineup, he said. Lindsey on Thursday was in Jasper County Jail and unable to make a $51,000 bond, he said.

Since her arrest, two more robberies have occurred, possibly carried out by a group of women who have formed a quasi-gang of bandits.

On July 17, the Conoco station was held up a second time, and the female robber wore a baseball hat, sunglasses and bandages on her face, Hall said. She also had her arm in a sling and never showed a weapon, but the gas station employee met her demands.

Two days later, a female wearing an arm sling flashed a handgun and robbed a Kirbyville Conoco gas station, investigators said.

That woman’s hair was different from that of the robber in the Jasper stickup, leading investigators to believe she was wearing a wig, authorities said.

Authorities Thursday were questioning suspects, with Brookshire Brothers offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to an identification and arrest.

“The only thing that is kind of strange is nobody is talking about it for 2,500 bucks,” he said.

Hall can’t remember a woman being involved in a local robbery case in his 15 years on the force. His captain, he said, has been on the force for at least 25 years and can remember only one or two.

Jasper Police Chief Todd Hunter was puzzled as well.

“I don’t know what’s going on in the water here,” he said.

Information about the case may be reported to the Jasper Police Department at (409) 384-3471.

Moment of Lyric – mp3

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn’t for chip fat, well they’d be frozen
They’re not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there’s anybody left in here
That doesn’t want to be out there

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

Good news, got to talk to Whimsy and HP (and Danny, and m_c, and bro… so much for 40 minutes of yoga!) Was lucky to get in my 20, though I don’t mind, really. It was nice to catch up a smidgen with folks. Danny on Thursday – GG and TD on Friday, if all goes to plan.
