Accused Purse Snatcher Is Disbarred Lawyer

The Associated Press has a news story about an alleged purse snatching at an outdoor table of an Annapolis, Maryland restaurant last Monday. The victim ran after a man who she saw running with her Louis Vuitton purse. She caught up with him. He then sought to return her cash and asked that she refrain from contacting the police.

The man was Egan O'Brien, who was charged with two counts of theft.

MyFoxDC has a video report.

As Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story is that the accused is a former member of the legal profession, disbarred by consent in Maryland and reciprocally disbarred in the District of Columbia. (Mike Frisch)
