• California Police Catch Wanted Man During Panda Express Lunch (nbcpalmsprings.com) — Monrovia residents might be amused to learn that local police finally arrested a man wanted for a parole violation when he unexpectedly walked into the Panda Express where they were eating. After two previous failed attempts, officers quickly tackled him, then returned to finish their meals, joking online about whether chow mein or good police work sealed the arrest.
