The gayborhood feels considerably safer than it did last year, but we still have some bizarre crime stories.
Here’s a running list of notable crime stories in Oak Lawn.

The Naked Brawler — April 16, 2016
Michael and I were walking the dogs on Easter Sunday when we noticed a bunch of police cars swarming the closed AT&T store across from Starbucks and Eatzi’s.
It was strange to see four Dallas Police cars and two Highland Park patrol cars around a closed store. We grabbed Starbucks and watched as a crime lab van pulled up.
I took a picture of the squad cars and sent it to our breaking news team to investigate. What they found out was hilarious: a Highland Park officer apparently came across a naked woman in the street around 9 a.m.
She was distraught and punched him.
