SAN ANTONIO -- Two men decided to do a little crime fighting of their own by coming to the rescue of a woman who was robbed at a bar.

Police say the woman had her purse stolen from the Annex Bar on San Pedro, just north of Downtown, around 1:00 a.m. A bar employee and the woman's boyfriend took off after the suspect. They spotted him outside, dumping her purse, and stealing her phone. They were able to hold him until police arrived.

The man now faces robbery charges.

@ET: you make me laugh. there is nothing wrong with drinking, in moderation. that's the key term here, yes? moderation. it is like everything else in life, you must know your limits. there is nothing wrong with a few shots of whiskey or wine, or Vodka, as long as you take responsible steps before drinking. but hey, i don't celebrate most religious holidays on the same day as you, so i must be with the devil too huh?

End Times, is that the 11 Commandment? Because I didn't read or see anything about drinking in the first 10.

It remains a constant source of wonderment for me that the goings on in saloons are made to appear unexpected and shocking. They are shocking, but not unexpected. In fact, this is what happens in these Hell holes every day and night. The story should be about another alcohol fueled attrocity. It is the saloons and barrooms that are the root of half the problems we have in this city. It is in the news every day and the source of the problem is never identified. Well, I will identify the source right now- It is DEMON RUM. These places are allowed to open up every day and serve beer, wine and strong whiskey to the morally destitute. They then run amok and it is the running amok that is complained about. HELLO! Wake up people- it is the alcohol drinking. These establishments should be closed as soon as the authorities can round up all the wretches that frequent them. These people and their alcohol are 57% of the problems we have. If we deal with that problem alone, there will be no more drunk driving, thieving, fornicating in the bushes and all the other crimes and sin started by drinking that filth. It seems obvious to me, but I am a Christian. "I tell you that the curse of God Almighty is on the saloon"-Reverend Billy Sunday.
