Things We Learned on Twitter This PM- Drugstore Cowboy Author Arrested

We read this disturbing tweet from "The Seattle Times" this afternoon:

"Author of the book Drugstore Cowboy is one of two men arrested Tues. during Redmond pharmacy robbery."

Indeed, James Fogle whose novel "Drugstore Cowboy" about his experiences robbing pharmacies to get drugs to feed his addiction which inspired the excellent 1989 independent film of the same name (pictured here; it starred Matt Dillon and Kelly Lynch) was arrested by police in Redmond, Wash., near Seattle for robbing a drugstore.

Fogle allegedly tied up employees of the pharmacy and he was charged with first degree robbery. The author had spent much of his life in prison on charges of robbing such places in the past.

On a ligther note, model/actress Brooke Burke, who has some 1.8 million followers on Twitter, tweeted that she was: "Walking to the park with kids....haven't had a day like this in a long time....."

Isn't that exciting?!
