Well here's a lede you don't read everyday. Courtesy of the LA Times's Sam Allen: "The mayor of the city of San Gabriel was in custody Friday on charges of felony robbery and assault after he allegedly took a woman’s purse and sped down a residential street with her clinging to the side of his sport-utility vehicle." Luckily the woman, who clung to the car for more than a quarter mile, was not seriously hurt. 35-year-old Mayor Albert Y.M. Huang was arrested and had his bail set at $100,000.
