Big Little Lies, Set in Mesquite. A Mesquite teacher told his middle school he needed a few days off for testicular cancer surgery, to which the faculty and parents responded by donating $11,000 and car. But as it turns out, the teacher needed the time off to appear in a West Virginia court for stealing from a previous employer. Yesterday, the West Virginia court sentenced the man to 6 months in federal prison. In addition, he now faces a charge of theft by deception here in North Texas.
Dallas-bound Plane’s Brush with Fame. Yesterday, an American Airlines 737 waiting to take off for Dallas from a California airport was buzzed by none other than Harrison Ford in his single-engine Husky who mistook the taxiway for runway. None of the 116 people aboard the AA flight, nor the actor, were injured, and there’s no doubt some kid who thought it was all part of the show.
