Why Did They Pick Here?

Multi-State Crime Spree Comes To Town


I didn't mention this a few weeks ago when it occurred, but by some freak of chance St. Simons Island was chosen by this moron, Michael Woodbury, for inclusion in his cross country melee of murder, arson, forgery, and burglary committed over the past month.

You see, about the only thing that ever happens here on SSI is the occasional wife-beating or petty larceny, although we did have a bank robbery back in 2003 while I was visiting to complete a real estate deal.

I don't believe that there has been a murder here in the past dozen years, although Glynn county as a whole doesn't fare as well in that category.

Any way, Woodbury got out of jail this spring and, having not had enough time wearing prison pinstripes (and few working brain cells), took two female accomplices on a road trip to Florida from Maine, stopping here on our little island long enough to break into our buddy J Mac's multi-million dollar mansion out on East Beach. Stealing J Mac's stuff wasn't enough though, they had to set the house on fire and burn it to the ground.

I can't find a picture on the Internet, but there was nothing left but the chimney and a charred pile of rubble.

They caught the bastard last week back up in Maine, and if they don't fry him for the three murders he committed Glynn County will get a shot at adding more time to his prison sentence.

Mean while, J Mac's still in the restaurant business, and we'll be back down there Wednesday night to hear our neighbor play the Piano in the lounge.

I hope the international criminals stay away in the mean time.
