50-year-old Woman Lectures Alleged Robber

Fifty-year-old Linette Kossow gave her attempted robber a religious lecture early Friday after chasing him for almost a mile and cornering him in an alley. Kossow was riding a CTA bus in the Loop just after midnight when police said Jenar Sanders, 18, swiped her wallet from her purse, jumped off the bus at Huron and State streets and made a run for it. The race came to a halt when police said Sanders ended up cornered in an alley off Superior St. between Wabash Ave. and Rush St., surrounded by Kossow and others who had joined the chase. Sanders was arrested by two officers at 12:35 a.m. and charged with theft, police said.
