Crime Kmart on Rodney Parham robbed Sunday night

Posted by Max Brantley on Mon, Mar 18, 2013 at 10:35 AM

A new wrinkle on the armed robbery beat perhaps. From the LRPD:

An assistant manager of the Kmart on Rodney Parham reported he was robbed after closing about 9 p.m. Sunday night when he found a tire on his car had been slashed. While working to fix it, a gunman ordered him inside the store to open the safe, then fled with the money inside, about $6,000.

However, after watching The Arkansas Repertory Theatre's opening performance of William Inge's "A Loss of Roses," I can attest that this play is as rough and unflinching as that Depression-era tale, or any other.
