devin smith turns himself in

for the last year and a half, since finding out the identity of my former roommate, i have been a little worried that his brother devin, still on the run, would show up and execute me. he's pretty sinister. just look at the FBI warning.

today, march 6, 2006 (coincidentally the same day my interview aired on NPR!), devin smith walked into the hall of justice in san francisco (i'm not kidding you, that's what it's called, you expect spiderman to come flying at any moment) and put his hands in the air, silently turning himself in. he has answered no questions. he will be arraigned tomorrow on charges of involvement in the lang jewelry heist. the assistant DA called me with the news today. not having witnessed devin, i will not be called to testify, he assured me in his phone message!

[epic sigh of relief]

the la times doesn't have anything on it yet, but here's america's most wanted's typically moronic take: "When cops cornered Dino Smith in New York, half of what police say is a high-profile pair of burglarizing brothers was taken off the street. Cops just got the [other] half, Troy Smith, after he walked right into the police headquarters in San Francisco." pretty heroic police work!

oh wait, check out the la times now.
